Rides Manufacturing meets the most stringent standards for quality, safety and comfort.
The company’ s quality management system is built around ISO policies and processes, enabling it to manufacture and deliver products that meet the requirements of customers and third-party inspection bodies alike. Specific elements are subcontracted through a carefully selected network, but most of the engineering and manufacturing process stays within the business, resulting in a level of quality control that runs through every stage of production. Additionally, Vekoma meets strict technical specifications for material quality, traceability, non-destructive testing and preservation. Materials are sourced from certified suppliers who are regularly monitored and evaluated. Every stage of production is checked by both internal and independent external parties, and welding staff are professionally qualified and continuously trained to maintain and improve the standard of their work.
In the realm of amusement parks and attractions, safety standards can never be too high. Thus, Vekoma puts safety above all else, across its operations, as a matter of principle rather than compliance. The company’ s teams work all over the world, often in demanding environments, but a deeply embedded culture of shared safety practices means the same standards apply whether someone is in the office or out in the field. Beyond complying with the most stringent industry safety standards, ride accessibility is a key focus for Vekoma, as inclusivity becomes increasingly vital in society. Over 15 percent of the global population lives with some form of disability, and Vekoma has made it a priority to ensure that the thrill of a coaster or attraction is not limited to those without additional needs.
