GWP certified for its high quality bonding processes of rail vehicles

The HÜBNER Group continues to expand its expertise as a supplier for the rail industry with the recent certification of its subsidiary, Gummi-Welz Poland Sp. z o.o. (GWP), in accordance with DIN 6701 for adhesive bonding of rail vehicle components.

The company’s site in Poland is now the sixth HÜBNER location possessing the DIN certification, as the system supplier for the mobility sector continues to develop its production capabilities, especially for outstanding gluing processes.

Christoph Heuser, Head of the Rail & Bus Business Unit, said: “The certification is a further important qualification step in meeting our high standards as a comprehensive system supplier for the rail industry.”

The certification confirms that GWP fulfils the high requirements for bonding processes for rail vehicles. At the same time, the certification also ensure product quality for applications in other sectors. In addition to producing GRP components for rail vehicles at the location in Poland, components for buses as well as construction machinery are also manufactured at the site.

GWP had to meet strict requirements to obtain the certification from the TBB Cert Institute. These include documenting structural changes and the professional qualifications of employees as well as expanded documentation procedures for all bonding processes.

Jaroslaw Kupczak, GWP bonding specialist, explained: “In addition to the investments in our newly set up gluing room, we have also conducted intensive training for our employees.”
