Quality & innovation
Guaranteed for the lifetime of your cabinets
The function and quality of our products are designed to inspire users. In addition, we attach great importance to top quality services and top quality collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers.
Research
What goes on in kitchens? We monitor and research kitchen use all over the world. This is the first stage of the Blum Quality Cycle. The insights we gain provide important information which is used for the development of new products and improvement of existing ones.
Manufacturing
Quality is especially important in the manufacturing of our products. Tools and manufacturing systems are subjected to the same rigorous testing requirements at all plants.
Quality checks
Blum, Inc. does a great deal of testing to ensure that the quality of our hardware is consistent with the high standards that our customers have come to expect from Blum. For this reason we have rigorous testing procedures which are carried out from the development stage through production. Blum’s internal testing standards are based on practical applications of our products and are more stringent than what is required by ANSI/BHMA.
Testing
Blum hinge systems meet or exceed ANSI/BHMA grade 2 requirements. Blum drawer systems meet or exceed ANSI/BHMA grade 1 requirements.
ISO certification
Blum’s Quality Management System is ISO 9001 certified, which means that our customers can expect consistent quality in every Blum product. Customer satisfaction and continuous improvement are important objectives of our management philosophy.
AEO certification
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) status is a quality mark indicating that Blum’s role in the international supply chain is secure. We’re happy to deal with customs clearance for our customers and suppliers. To simplify and expedite customs, safety and security procedures, we attained a combined AEO certificate (AEOF) which is recognized by the European Commission.
