GLOBE is one of the world manufacturers of top quality abrasive wheels, produced with raw materials supplied by ISO certified manufacturers in the European Union. All productions are carried out in the plants of Parma and Rubbiano (PR) – Italy.
Great care is always dedicated to chemical and mechanical safety of products for safeguarding and protecting users.
A prerogative of GLOBE products is the involvement and the responsibility of workers, obtained through a traceability system, which allows to trace at anytime and throughout the period of validity of every wheel: day, month, year of production, and all the staff involved in the manufacturing phases; from pressing to checking and shipping. Every phase of the production process is checked and stored: incoming raw materials, mixtures during production, pressing, registration of polymerisation cycles tests, and inspection before packaging.
In particular, tests of production batches and visual checks are carried out daily with certified machines and everything is stored in order to guarantee a very high safety level.
All documents are stored to guarantee a total traceability of every wheel produced. This careful management allowed us to obtain the ISO 9001 certification for many years already.
Moreover, since the early 2000s, GLOBE was admitted among the first producers in the OSA association (Organization for the Safety of Abrasives). Through strict and binding regulations, OSA guarantees a high standard of product safety for the protection of users.
Furthermore, GLOBE complies with the Italian regulations (DDL 320 dd. 5th November 1990, DDL 554 dd. 3rd December 1992) and the European ones (EN 12413 and EN 13743). It is also possible to produce certified abrasive discs and wheels for applications in nuclear plants in accordance with the different requirements of the different countries.
