butterfly valves and actuators.

 Our promise
of quality
At Wouter Witzel we are not afraid to promise the best
possible quality when it comes to the products we deliver.
This confidence comes with being our own manufacturer
and thus being able to supervise the entire production
process. Of course, promises are not enough. That is the
reason we have formalised methods and procedures to
prove and support our claims in this area.

First of all, we have put in place a Quality Management

System (QMS). To meet the most stringent of requirements,
this system is certified in accordance with ISO 9001. The
ISO certificate serves as your personal guarantee of overall
quality, technically as well as organisationally.
