• Quality is achieved through planning, execution, review, and improvement of the Management System, always taking into account the context of NX, both internally and externally.
• Quality is oriented towards the satisfaction of all our clients (and interested parties), through NX’ commitment to fulfilling their needs and requirements, as well as legal and regulatory requirements and those specific to the products.
• Quality relies on Continuous Improvement of production processes and service delivery, as well as the effectiveness of the Management System, in which error prevention is a fundamental aspect.
• Quality drives us to pay maximum attention to technological developments and potential improvements that new technologies may offer us.
• NX is committed to environmental protection, including pollution prevention and efficient use of available natural resources.
• Compliance with applicable environmental legislation and regulations, as well as other requirements that our company subscribes to related to its environmental aspects.
