4 To be better and better: that is the objective of WAM. The continuous improvement program introduced in 2013 is based on the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) concept, although it goes much further. Through the constant systematic organisation of structures and processes in all areas of the company, the highest possible quality standards are achieved. This requires a new attitude, a new way of thinking and working. The Armacell UK plant achieved Bronze level WAM accreditation in 2017, becoming the first plant in Europe to do so. PIONEERING FLEXIBLE INSULATION Back in 1954, Armacell invented ArmaFlex, the first flexible insulation product. In doing so, it established a new branch of industry - flexible technical insulation - that it has been shaping ever since. ArmaFlex is now the World's best-known brand for flexible technical insulation, and the brand name has become epnoymous in the building materials industry. ENERGY SAVING Armacell insulation materials are among the few products that save more energy than is used for their production: Armaflex saves an impressive 140 times more energy than it takes to manufacture! In light of rising energy prices, stricter energy conservation laws and the rapid pace of climate change, Armacell believes that the insulation of building equipment and industrial installations will play an even more important role in future. INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SPECIFIC DEMANDS In addition to conventional thermal insulation materials to protect against heat and cold, the company today offers a wide range of covering systems, fire-protection and noise-control solutions, pre-insulated pipes, special insulation systems for applications in industry and the accessories to match.
