We take our role in preserving the environment very seriously. We have an active environmental policy and encourage our employees to play an active role in environmental control. Hambaker operates a Quality Management System in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001: 2015 (BSI Certificate Number FM 12908).
We work closely with legislative bodies, such as the Environment Agency, in monitoring and measuring our industrial activity.Â
Almost all of our products can be recycled – taking scrap iron and metal, re-heating and turning it into new products.
The majority of our products are used in the water and waste-water industry, and we have an important role to play. As water companies invest billions in replacing and renovating worn out pipelines and building new water treatment works, our products play a critical role in maintaining and renewing the infrastructure and ensure the nation’s supply of clean healthy water.
