Our commitment to quality
At Bronkhorst, quality means delivering on our promises. Customer satisfaction, innovation, and consistency have been the foundation of our success since the beginning. If we can truly help a customer by making a considerate choice, we do—because success is not just about numbers, but about creating real value.
In 1992, we achieved ISO 9001 certification, the International Standard for Quality Management, followed by ISO 14001 certification for Environmental Management in 1995. In 2010, our Calibration Centre was accredited by the Accreditation Council (scope K127), ensuring the highest level of accuracy in gas flow, liquid flow, and pressure calibrations. Additionally, our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation demonstrates our commitment to maintaining internationally recognized calibration standards. These milestones reflect our ongoing dedication to delivering exceptional quality and reliability.
EcoVadis
At Bronkhorst, we are committed to sustainability and ethical business practices, which is why we partner with EcoVadis, a globally recognized provider of business sustainability ratings. EcoVadis evaluates the environmental, social, and ethical performance of companies worldwide, helping us ensure that our operations and supply chain meet the highest standards of corporate responsibility.
Integrity
Trust, commitment, and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do.
Global reach, local focus
Every market, industry, and customer has unique needs. That’s why we combine global expertise with local adaptability. Our sales and service offices ensure customers receive high-quality support tailored to their applications. We don’t just deliver a product—we offer guidance, share knowledge, and work alongside our customers to find the best solution.
With a strong global service network, we provide expert support wherever our customers operate. Our local service offices offer calibration, maintenance, and modifications, ensuring optimal performance throughout the lifespan of our instruments. This worldwide presence means customers can rely on the same high level of service and expertise, no matter where they are.
Sustainability is embedded in the way we work. We actively seek ways to reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and improve the longevity of our solutions. Sustainable building practices, energy-efficient technologies, and circular economy initiatives are standard considerations in our decisions. As of 2025, we will publish an annual Corporate Sustainability Report to provide transparency on our progress.
A culture of trust and determination
Bronkhorst is built on trust, commitment, and collaboration. We believe in taking responsibility, being hands-on, and learning from experience. Entrepreneurship is encouraged, but always within a framework of accountability and respect for the people we work with. Mistakes are seen as opportunities to improve, not as failures.
We reject unnecessary bureaucracy and short-term, profit-driven thinking. Instead, we focus on practical, meaningful work—delivering value for customers and ensuring that every decision aligns with our principles. Whether working internally or with our partners, we believe in personal commitment, open communication, and taking care of one another.
At Bronkhorst, we are here for the long run—standing by our customers, our people, and our values. That’s what drives us forward – that's our flow.
