QIC Recognised for High Standard of Product Manufacture and Environmental Management
QIC Trims’ operational excellence and environmental sustainability receives official accreditation.
The interior product design and manufacturing specialist has been awarded certification for achieving two crucial industry standards.
The globally recognised BS EN ISO 9001:2015 certification was awarded for QIC Trims’ operation of a UKAS accredited Quality Management System. Certification was also received for the company’s UKAS accredited Environmental Management System compliance as per standard BS EN ISO 14001:2015.
In both cases, the certification relates to QIC Trims’ design, manufacture, and supply of extruded aluminium and sheet metal interior building products to the construction industry.
Neil Miller, QIC Trims’ Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Compliance with these industry standards recognises our commitment to excellence across all areas of the business. The Quality Management System certification confirms we consistently meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements while aiming for continuous improvement. This is particularly satisfying, as upholding standards whilst striving for ever-higher quality levels is embedded in our DNA.”
QIC boosted its environmental management by changing the packaging used on its products. It now comprises a minimum 30% recycled polythene content and is LDPE 04 recyclable. Other energy-saving initiatives include recycling all cardboard packaging and installing LED sensor lighting throughout the company’s Buckinghamshire manufacturing plant. The strategy is part of QIC’s target of zero waste disposal by 2030.
Neil Miller continued: “Moving to a minimum 30% recyclable content for our packaging strikes the right balance between strength and sustainability. It also shows that we are serious about achieving our sustainability goals. This is something that we feel our customers care deeply about.”
Qic Trims Facilitates Exceptional Acoustic Aspirations of Uk’s Only Music-first Arena
QIC Trims supplied the high-quality aluminium interior building solutions as part of an exceptional package of acoustic wall-lining and suspended ceiling works for the UK’s sole music-first arena.
The products were installed throughout the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, a stunning new event space designed to welcome the world’s biggest, most exciting performers. Co-op Live boasts the largest floor space of any indoor UK venue. Featuring cutting-edge visual technology, exceptional acoustics and an innovative sound bowl design, everything about this phenomenal building is tailored to create an unforgettable fan experience.
Acoustic performance was also central to providing first-class soundproofing to limit noise impacts on nearby residencies. QIC Trims’ solutions were essential to this outcome. The company’s supply of bespoke acoustic metal wall panel solutions and bespoke bracketry ensured the arena’s acoustic wall linings, suspended ceilings and various architectural metalworks were provided with secure, smart, easy-fit perimeters. QIC Trims’ designed in house slab edge linings were installed as a standalone package, with the company’s additional trims providing an ideal accompaniment to various manufactured perimeter systems and brackets throughout the arena.
QIC’s robust, reliable products were selected for the Co-op Live Arena project by John Atkinson Interiors, leading manufacturers of acoustic control products and suspended ceilings. They were chosen to fulfil the functional and performance requirements of each acoustic wall lining and suspended ceiling installation. Each of these was designed by Populous Architects.
Matthew Teare, Contracts Manager at John Atkinson Interiors, said QIC was a ‘critical partner’ during the Co-op Live Arena’s design and delivery phases. “From early design engagement, through mock-up and product trials, all QIC staff members showed a genuine desire to deliver on the project,” he said. “Connor Howard, Computer Aided Design Technician at QIC, has been a driving force on the scheme, having acted as our first point of contact. He helped develop the ceilings’ complex bulkhead design, quickly dealing with any bespoke design and proposal requests we had.
“Throughout the project, QIC response times and ability to turn around architectural metalwork sections and panels in a matter of days have been fantastic. I would strongly recommend other companies engage with QIC early on projects to see what support they can offer.”
The 23,500 capacity Co-op Live Arena, which contains 32 bars and restaurants, will host more than 120 major live events each year. The venue’s opening show will see local comedy hero Peter Kay take the stage on April 23rd. QIC Trims is proud to have delivered a range of bespoke aluminium interior building products to ensure the Co-op Live Arena lives up to its reputation as a spectacular performance experience that, sonically and aesthetically, will astound millions of visitors for many years to come.
