If Experience is the Best Certificate for you – Then it’s Colson.

Quality Management

Everyone talks about quality – about the best possible operation, long product life and the greatest possible safety of their products. All that is very well, but quality isn’t achieved in a day, it has to grow from tradition and experience. As the oldest manufacturer of wheels and castors in Europe, Colson provide both in the pure form. The quality of our products has been passed on in this way for generations. It results from a way of thinking that is oriented to the growing demands of customers in a world that is rapidly growing in pace and mobility.

Although we are known for our literal quality, now this is also on paper. Colson’s Total Quality Management has additionally been recognised by the BSI Quality Management System. The company operates a Quality Management System which complies with the ISO 9001:2008 standard's requirements. We now have formal certification of our quality.

Our experience, on the other hand, cannot be bought. For us it is the most valuable certificate. You will benefit from it, in our daily work together, and through every single type of castor that, after countless tests and trials, leaves our plant in order to put the unique Colson quality into action in your products.

International Standards

To assure Colson products are of the highest quality, we comply with a number of International Standards. In addition, Colson continually evaluates all products to make sure our clients receive the best quality castors and wheels.
