A Tradition of Excellence

From the beginning, quality has been one of the key values of the company’s corporate culture. Besides commitment and simplicity, quality is the strong foundation on which the Tapflo factory of pumps operates. The Swedish company took a significant step forward and decided to establish dedicated Quality Department, what helped to further its enhance process and outcomes. Since then, Tapflo continuously expanded their team and capabilities. Successive quality improvements could not have been achieved without highly skilled and talented professionals. Along with the expansion of the factory, Tapflo engineers moved into a new, state-of-the-art quality control room, specifically designed to enhance inspection and testing capabilities.

We are constantly refining this space to better serve our needs. From the outset, our focus has been on integrating Lean methodologies to optimize our processes and oversee critical areas such as welding, where we handle both stainless steel and carbon steel. We maintain rigorous standards, providing training, conducting exams, and ensuring all certifications are up-to-date. Additionally, we lead a Kaizen program that fosters a culture of continuous improvement, driving innovations that enhance production efficiency year after year – says Mikołaj Laguna-Horodniczy, head of Global Marketing at Tapflo Group.

Empowering Our Team

Additionally Tapflo is committed to the continuous development of its employees’ skills by offering comprehensive training in metrology, including technical drawing, measurement methods, and the use of specialized measurement tools. Members of Quality Department are able to calibrate many of its own measuring instruments in-house, following rigorous certified training programs completed by the team.

Consistent and rigorous Inspections

Quality verification is based on continuous improvement, acquiring new knowledge in many areas.  Therefore, company allows its inspection staff to take part in extensive training and certification. Tapflo has embraced the Kaizen methodology, a philosophy centered on relentless enhancement and operational finesse. By simplifying and flattening procedures from conception to execution, the company has markedly reduced both the time and intricacy involved in its operations. This streamlined approach boosts Tapflo’s responsiveness and flexibility, enabling the company to stay ahead of competitors and consistently provide top-quality products and services.
