Quality Assured Exhibition Stand Suppliers
Everyone will tell you their products and services are of the highest quality, but what reassurances
do you have that this is correct? After all, everyone’s perception of "Quality" is different- one
mans perfection is another’s starting point.
As a customer you need to know your solution will perform on the day and every day after that.
This is why Nimlok engaged British Standards to help us achieve ISO9001, which we did in
1997. Its endorsement assures you of our commitments to quality, processes and testing so
that you get consistently high standards of product from us.
ISO 9001:2000 is the internationally recognized Quality Management Standard for all types of
organization, and is used in over 161 countries worldwide by over 1 million companies.
The ISO9001 process provides a robust framework for all activities by adopting 8 quality
management principles:
* Customer focus
* Leadership
* Involvement of people
* Documented processes
* Integrated systems
* Continuous improvement
* A factual approach to decision making
* Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
These principles are integrated into all of the management processes, and are registered as
complying fully with ISO 9001 by BSI. For the following activities
* The manufacture of display and exhibition stands
* The hire and installation of display and exhibition stands

12. environment
Nimlok leads on environmental issues
Nimlok is first exhibition company in the world to attain the International Environmental Standard
of ISO 14001.
Reusability and Sustainability at core of Nimlok's products, history and culture
Reusability has been the core value of all Nimlok’s products. Nimlok always believed passionately
that there is a better way than the “build and burn” philosophy that has dominated the majority
of display and exhibition construction. The Nimlok way is with modular, reconfigurable exhibition
stands and solutions: engineered from the start to be used again and again—as the marketing
needs of the stand evolve, so does the system to accommodate it.
Testament to the reusability of Nimlok products is the very large quantity of Nimlok equipment
still in daily use after more than a quarter of a century.
Even at the end of their long “useful life” Nimlok products continue to be environmentally sound
as they are manufactured using 80% recyclable material.
From the outset Nimlok has offered to properly dispose of any equipment no longer wanted by
our clients as part of the original purchase contract. This is now known by more fashionable
terms such as “Source responsibility” but has always been part of our philosophy—and will
continue to be.
The Nimlok Group is the world’s largest supplier of modular and reusable display and exhibition
equipment yet remains a family business. Great people and a strong culture are foremost
contributors to our success and we highly value the ethical and long-term perspective. This
perspective includes the desire to make Environmental considerations central to the way we
do business in the 21st century.
