Quality management

Our ultimate goal is to achieve customer satisfaction

To reach this goal, the quality management of the pewag group is determined by the principle: “We supply our customers with high-quality products which fully meet technological standards and its usage requirements,” this is summarized in the four following mandatory principles:

Market oriented qualityTo maintain and improve its competitive position, the quality of products and services of the pewag group must meet both the specifications of our customers and the standards one can expect from the technological leader in the industry.

Economic qualityAs a profit-oriented company the quality is also determined by the material used, labor costs and financial possibilities, i.e. also within the framework awarded by the customer.

Responsibility for QualityQuality management is the task and obligation of executives at all levels. Every employee of the pewag group has to be integrated by management in the preparations, execution and evaluation of the quality management measures.

Every employee takes the responsibility for the quality of his work.

Business areas

Working withpewag products

The pewag group has a substantial and diverse spectrum of products and services.

Our range of products varies from traction chains for tires (snow chains for passenger cars, trucks and special-purpose vehicles, tire protection chains for mining vehicles) over different indust-rial chains to products for the do-it-yourself sector (light chains, belts, etc.)

Environment – we take responsibility

Ecological awarenessin all areas

We continuously strive to keep the influence of our business on the environment as low as possible. Our production and warehousing is organized so that all legal requirements on environmental protection are fulfilled. Further-more, we consider ecological aspects for our

product development, processes and distribution channels and include these in our business planning.

Consequently, we are permanently striving for a continuous impro-vement and development of our established products to reach high-er load capacities and safety for our customers with lighter weights and longer life spans.

Wherever we cannot avoid an environmental impact, we strive to reduce the use of energy, environmentally harmful emissions and keep the production of waste to a minimum. When investing in new machines we consider the technically most adequate and economi-cally feasible state-of-the-art designs for their designated area of use.

Our environmental management is certified according to ISO 14001:2004. Regular internal audits assist to supervise com-pliance, test the effectiveness of our set standards and serve as a basis to determine improvement potentials.

Out of this long-lasting tradition we take responsibility for our pro-ducts, employees, our sites and the environment very seriously.

We commit to comply with all environment-related regulations and continually improve our performance for the environment by defined goals. For that purpose we use modern production techno-logies. We enhance the ecological awareness of our employees by regular trainings.

We engage with our customers, neighbors and government agenci-es in an open communication and inform them about our environ-mental management wherever appropriate.

By providing advice, we want to inform our customers about the environmental aspects related to the use of our products – espe-cially their long life spans. We are striving to motivate our customers and suppliers to consider environmental protection in their sphere of influence and use the same environmental standards as we do.

Robust and reliable.The classic chain for heavy-dutyutility vehicle use.

Product descriptionpewag austro super is the proven all-round chain model:The light weight of this chain makes it easy to mount, yet its durable design is perfectly suited for transporters and trucks. The proven and popular austro super is the classic chain for medium-duty utility vehicle use. The low chain weight guarantees easy handling as well as good traction. Pressed together side hooks are used to connect the chain mesh with the side chains for the smaller material diameters (4.5 and 5.6 mm). For the 7 mm version pewag connect the chain mesh to the side chains using welded rings, which are required to cope with the demands of more powerful vehicles and larger tires. This additional feature makes the chain even more reliable for larger vehicles and tires.

Also available in a twin-tire version.

Brand new ThickThin technology.The professional chain for heavy-duty use.

Product descriptionTT (ThickThin) stands for a new pewag technology to manufacture chains using various link shapes and diameters.pewag unimove TT is the first chain type worldwide which unites different link shapes in one chain mesh. The projecting link has a wave profile; due to its wave shape the grip on snow-covered or icy ground is impro-ved. The profile of the horizontal link is rectangular with a smaller chain diameter; due to this small cross-section the weight of the chain is redu-ced without influencing its running characteristics or wear resistance.

The new generation of pewag unimove has the following advantages:•weightreductionupto10%(preservesvehicle,tireandroadsurface,

reduces fuel consumption and increases the life span of the chain upto20%)

Load lashing systems

pewag winner proload lashing systems for load restraintapplications

pewag – the chain industry’sinnovation leader – was the world’s first manufacturer tooffer G12 chain systems.

In 2003, pewag was the first manufacturer in the world to offer G12 chain systems using the innovative profile design.The pewag winner pro chain system can be used for lifting, lashing and many special applications.

Features and benefits of pewag winner pro G12 chain systems

Intelligent profile – with intelligent use of material, pewag has designed a chain link with the same cross section as regular round-link chains that has supe-rior characteristics (such as fatigue and bending resistance) by comparison to standard round-link chains. In order to reach optimum technical performance, material was increased in relevant areas and reduced in irelevant areas.

Improvedbendingresistance:ThenewG12linkshavea16%hig-her section modulus compared to regular round-link chains of the same cross section and can therefore better withstand bending forces.

Patented material with optimized strength and toughness at high and low temperatures.

With the same chain dimension it is possible to secure more or heavierloads.Plus50%comparedtoG8and20%comparedtoG10 (direct lashing).

Lashing chain ZRSWP

Product descriptionpewag winner pro – single leg chain sling with shortening devices and eye sling hooks connected with mechanical connecting links. Grab hook with safety pin that keeps the chain in place during shortening applications. The unit is designed to allow the best use of chain and hooks. Ratchet binder with optimized lever length.Chain length: can be customized.

winner PROIn many lifting or pulling applications, a down-sizing to a smaller chain diameter in G12 is possible resulting in lower weight and costs: Example for direct lashing 8 mm G12 (LC=60kN) replaces10 mm G8 (LC=63kN).

Considerably lower weight in load securement applications results in a safer and more convenient product for the end-user.
