Quality

Permanent quality improvement leads to higher customer satisfaction. Nexans is constantly fine-tuning our performance in all fields of activity.

4 main priorities have been defined:

  • Staff security
  • Customer services
  • Operational excellence
  • Management and training to upgrade skills

In order to deploy this strategy, Nexans has developed a Management, Quality, Security and Environment system according to ISO13485, ISO9001, EN9100 and ISO14001 standards, involving all teams in continuous improvement in the spirit of self-initiative. As a follow-up, we have defined precise objectives linked to action plans and indicators.

Nexans is committed to creating in-house organizations and resources to reach these objectives.

The Quality Security Environment department checks that the quality system is correctly applied and suitable for company needs but above all to customer specifications, meeting all standards and regulations requirements.

Nevertheless, Quality, Security and Environment strongly depend on team spirit. That is why each Nexans actor is keenly involved in reaching our common objectives.

R&D expertise

Two levels of R&D to combine global vision with empowered local R&D units

The organisation is designed to facilitate cooperation and information sharing at the Group level, and to drive innovation for our strategic markets.

The research centers are at the disposal of all entities within their sphere of excellence:

  • Metallurgy in Lens (France),
  • Rubber in Jincheon (South Korea),
  • Cross-linked Materials and Computer modeling in Lyon (France)
  • Thermoplastic Materials and Extrusion Processes in Nuremberg (Germany).

The development networks define the programs in close relationship with the marketing teams in order to ensure that developments reflect client expectations.

The current development is handled by centers specialized by product or technology. We also have application centers to test and compare cable performance in real service conditions. These trials form the basis of fruitful technical discussions with our clients.
