We control operational processes via our integrated management system (IMS). It stipulates uniform standards throughout the Group for issues relating to quality, environmental protection, health and safety. We have our Group management system analyzed by an international certification organization in accordance with uniform standards based on ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment). In 2011, our Wacker Biotech subsidiary in Jena was included in the Group certification under ISO 14001 (environmental management). All our Siltronic subsidiary’s sites are certified to ISO/TS 16949 and to ISO 14001, due to the company’s specific processes and customer requirements.
New-Product Rate Has Grown Again
The new-product rate is the sales percentage of products launched in the last five years. The increase stemmed mainly from new specifications for silicon, such as new particle sizes, for solar applications and from launching production of 300 mm wafers, which are suitable for 22 nanometer design rules.
