Certified quality

Our high-quality handrails provide outstanding reliability. They are manufactured using the latest technologies and nothing less than the highest quality raw materials.

All our production sites operate in compliance with the strict quality requirements that must be met for ISO 9001:2015 certification. We are also one of the few handrail manufacturers with both ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management standard) and ISO 45001:2018 (occupational health and safety management systems) certification.

All production facilities around the world operate in accordance with our strict quality standards. A test certificate is issued for each handrail, documenting that the dimensions are within the specified tolerances.

Extensive know-how and proprietary processes

Research and development is an essential and perpetual part of our success. We have the necessary know-how to plan, test and implement product developments in-house.

We use our superior knowledge of rubber and plastics for the benefit of our customers. A fully equipped technological laboratory in Europe, a team of chemists, engineers and process technicians, and the product development department ensure that we deliver state-of-the-art products. We have access to a large number of test rigs in Austria and China for testing our handrails on a wide variety of escalator systems. We combine state-of-the-art development methods with practical test runs to offer our customers and partners outstanding quality.

State-of-the-art production facilities

All key processes are handled in-house:

Compounding, extrusion, rubberization of fabrics, vulcanisation, finishing and packaging. Semperit was the first handrail supplier to implement a fully automated assembly process. All production locations use the same pressing technology to vulcanise the handrails. We achieve the required degree of precision and reproducibility by continually monitoring and improving our processes.
