Wieland Group And Sospes Expand Their Environmental, Health & Safety Software Partnership

The Wieland Group have expanded their use of Sospes' EHS management software as its platform partner for its U.S. operations.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) - Wieland-Werke AG (“Wieland Group”), a world-wide leading supplier of semi-finished copper and copper alloy products, has elected to expand its use of Sospes’ EHS management software as its environmental, health and safety platform partner for its U.S. operations. Sospes’ EHS software improves communication between workers and their companies, creating a collaborative environment for improving safety and productivity. Global Brass and Copper, recently acquired by Wieland, implemented Sospes in its United States facilities in 2018 and was well-received by employees and managers in supporting their EH&S program.

“As a U.S. manufacturer, continuous improvement and lean management is required in order to remain competitive and responsive to our customers,” said Joe Wickenhauser, Leader Safety & Security. “This means we are continually looking for tools that support improvement and efficiency efforts. In 2018, we partnered with Sospes to create efficiencies in our reporting and inspection processes and to compile the resulting metrics in a manner that effectively drives resource allocation. To date, our incident rate has reflected a 42% Year-Over-Year improvement. While we have a lot of activities directed at lowering our injury rate, Sospes definitely deserves some of the credit for this improved performance.”

With Wieland’s July acquisition of Global Brass and Copper, it was important to ensure that the shared commitment to worker safety was consistently supported across the combined company. By partnering with Sospes, Wieland is able to maintain that safety environment through the mobile application and therefore ensure continued worker and company success.

“The Wieland Group is recognized globally as a leader in non-ferrous metals production, not only for technological innovation but for their commitment to sustainability and the environment,” said Tom Carson, President of Sospes. “It is humbling to work with a company that is a 200-year-old success story and we are proud to have been selected as their partner in safety management. We look forward to supporting their commitment to worker safety and continuous process improvement.”
