Textile Bonding rigorously pursues a policy of manufacturing and marketing products which are renowned for excellence in quality and reliability and, thereby, provides value to Customers in all markets served. This approach is constantly maintained and, in addition, continuous improvement is sought to ensure that product performance meets all the ongoing needs of the Company's Customers.

This policy is in the full interest of all Company employees, who are expected to give due care and attention to the quality of their work at all times. The Company aids this objective by continuous improvements in processes, materials, training and working conditions. These are included in the Company planning document, which confirms the commitment to the policy of "zero discrepancies".

It is the prime responsibility of the Quality Manager to ensure that the systems necessary to support and monitor the Company's quality objectives are established and maintained throughout the Company. In addition, these systems need to be developed and improved to give never-ending Quality Improvement. The Quality Manager has the full support of the Plant Manager in carrying out this responsibility.

This does not preclude all Managers and Employees from their own responsibilities in ensuring that quality standards are properly and fully maintained and that finished products meet specifications in all respects. It is also the responsibility of all employees to ensure that good standards of housekeeping are maintained at all times.
