Pagani Pens quadruple certified

The Swiss company Pagani Pens, which is the company behind Prodir, an internationally renowned producer of writing instruments for the promotional product market, has recently received four new certifications that confirm the company’s commitment to quality and environmental protection, as well as the health, safety and well-being of its employees.

The certification awarded by Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) certifies the exemplary standards of Pagani Pens in the areas of labour and employment law, health and safety, and environmental protection. The company’s three new ISO certifications are ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management and ISO 45001:2018 for health and safety at work. As stated by company headquarters, ‘these certifications strengthen the company’s position as an industry leader that is dedicated to quality, environmental protection and the well-being of its employees’.

The key to acquiring these certifications was the complete vertical integration of the company. Pagani Pens and its brands, including Prodir, Pigra and Premec, produce their writing instruments, components and writing technologies in their own production facilities at their plant in Tessin, Switzerland. This helps the business maintain control over everything, from the quality to the strict adherence to the high Swiss social and environmental standards.

‘These certifications substantiate our dedication to quality, environmental responsibility, health and safety at work, as well as ethical business practices’, states Pagani Pens’ administrative board in a statement. It describes them as ‘the culmination of a journey which each of us has been pursuing with conviction and determination for years; it was a journey consisting of commitment, professionalism, passion and much more’. The statement goes on to say, ‘Strengthened by this official recognition of the highest international standards, Pagani Pens will continue to let its certified passion, dedication and know-how in the development of writing instruments and systems flow at the highest level for its customers around the world’. www.prodir.com
