PERFECTION BY TRADITION  
Heat treatment is a process that contributes decisively to the quality and service life of the component. The crucial factors therefore are the precise determination of the hardening parameters, precise process management, and the documentation of the hardening results.
Certified in accordance with the current DIN EN ISO standards, Härterei Reese's hardening plant at all sites has all the requisites for consistently high quality levels. However, the standards regulate the quality management only. Whether quality is in fact delivered depends on the care taken, the age of the plant, the know-how applied by the personnel, and the customer orientation throughout the company. Härterei Reese takes these factors extremely seriously: both personnel and management live the quality philosophy.
   
Not only quality management, also environmental compatibility adopts a key role in our corporate strategy. In March 1999 the Härterei Reese plant in Bochum was the first German hardening plant to pass the Eco Audit as specified under DIN EN ISO 14001.
   
In August 2001 the Härterei Reese plant in Weimar was the first hardening plant in the former East German states to operate an environmental management system in accordance with the EC regulation 701/2001, authorising it to use the EMAS symbol for approved environmental management.
