Quality and sustainability at Elpress. The responsibility we take every day

Quality and sustainability are not side projects at Elpress. They are fundamental parts of how we develop products, select suppliers, conduct production and meet our customers. At a time when demands for transparency, traceability and accountability are increasing, these issues are more relevant than ever – both for our customers and for our owners, the Lagercrantz Group.

Behind this work is a dedicated quality and sustainability department that ensures Elpress meets high standards every day, both internally and externally.

Structured and long-term work

Elpress works systematically with quality and sustainability throughout the value chain – from supplier to finished product and on to use in critical applications. This involves ensuring compliance, robust processes and continuous improvements, but also taking responsibility for environmental impact, ethical supply chains and clear reporting.

The work includes quality and environmental audits, supplier follow-ups, deviation management, measurement and calibration processes, and the development and updating of EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations). All to build trust – over time.

With a holistic perspective, he ensures that the work is well anchored in the business, in applicable requirements and in the owners’ expectations. The role involves both strategic responsibility and close collaboration with production, purchasing and management.

Transparency as a competitive advantage

For Elpress, quality and sustainability are not just about meeting requirements, but about building long-term relationships. Through clear processes, documentation and open communication, we create security for our customers – and a stable foundation for future development.

It is work that goes on every day, both behind the scenes and in the open. And it is the people behind the processes who make the difference.
