The scope of the Quality Management System (QMS) encompasses the wholly owned igus® subsidiary based at the Brackmills Estate in Northampton, in the UK. Our activities comprise the sale, assembly, and distribution of igus® products. Product lines include industry-leading e-chain cable carriers, chainflex® continuous-flex cables, iglidur® plastic plain bearings, igubal® spherical bearings, drylin® linear bearings and guide Systems.

igus® does not engage in the designing, development or changing the design of products that igus GmbH manufacture. Thus, our Quality Management System (QMS) does not encompass design and development of products (8.3. of ISO 9001:2015).

Product machining/modifications, installations, and delivery are outsourced and are covered by the Quality Management System (QMS) only as far as the company’s control and influence extends.
