Quality
Since its inception, Vhm FONDERIE has been committed to a process of continuous quality improvement, placing customer satisfaction at the heart of its priorities.
Environmental protection is also a major concern for the company, which has chosen to act in favor of sustainable development.
Certification
Customer satisfaction, our number one priority, is based first and foremost on the quality of our services.
We guarantee this quality through our long-standing ISO 9001 certified quality management system.
As soon as the new ISO 9001:2015 standard was released, we decided to renew our certification under this new version.
Our ability to adapt very quickly to this new standard made Vhm the first Alsatian company to be ISO 9001:2015 certified by Bureau Veritas Certification. Group in the Bureau Veritas newsletter of November 2016
We have since been certified by DEKRA Certification.
Certified according to ISO 50001, Vhm FONDERIE & MÉCANIQUE relies on robust management strategies and systems to regularly assess and sustainably improve its energy efficiency and benefit from an internationally recognized energy management system (EMS).

EPV Label - Living Heritage Company
Vhm FONDERIE has been awarded the Living Heritage Company label.
This label, awarded by the French State through the Regional Prefecture and after review by the National Institute of Arts and Crafts (INMA), recognizes outstanding artisanal and industrial expertise. This distinction aims to prevent the disappearance of exceptional economic and cultural talents, which are too often threatened.
This state label is attached to the Ministry of the Economy and Finance and is awarded by the regional prefects.
This recognition is of great value to the entire company. Indeed, it distinguishes Vhm FONDERIE's efforts in deploying highly demanding contemporary technologies while preserving ancestral techniques, thus safeguarding unique traditional manufacturing processes.
Joining the circle of Living Heritage Companies (Hermès, Fauchon, Champagne Bollinger, Laguiole, Lalique, Fonderies de Paris), the foundry and the entire Vhm group are committed to embodying on a daily basis an ambition to transmit crafts and promote French excellence.
Continuous improvement
Our lean manufacturing approach is driven by a constant focus on providing the customer with a product that meets the expected level of added value. The entire process is continuously reviewed and evaluated.
Our approach is primarily hands-on, pragmatic, and operator-focused.
It concerns:
- organizational and cultural transformation and skills development,
- digitization, data retrieval and interpretation,
- the integration of new production technologies.
All this with a view to flexibility, agility, competitiveness and quality improvement, boosted by the power of new technologies.
Our continuous improvement projects (job analysis, problem-solving groups) punctuate the activity and are also an opportunity to develop the skills of operators on continuous improvement tools (VSM, SMED, 5S, …).
Consequently, continuous improvement is an integral part of Vhm FONDERIE.
