Plank
Plank, situated in South Tyrol, in the district Alto Adige, has been able to make good use of the characteristics of the two countries it is close to, creating a cultural symbiosis that has enabled it to earn a solid reputation.
The company’s history dates back more than a hundred years. Founded in 1893 by Karl Plank, the company has been handed down from father to son till today as is the tradition of the best Italian enterprises. Passed down first to Karl Jr. and then to his son Martin who since 1979 has been running it and, recently, has been helped by his son Michael, the company in this lapse of time has transformed itself from its artisan origins to an industrial enterprise.
Today Plank´s production makes use of sophisticated automation systems whenever this will allow an optimal balance between costs and the quality of the product; nevertheless some aspects of the workmanship, where manual ability is indispensable, remain artisanal.
The Plank company has always been close to the needs of efficient managing and was one of the first in Italy to receive the ISO 9001 quality and ISO 14001 environment certifications. In the year 2002 the company adapted to the new quality requirements and is nowadays in possession of an integrative management system according to ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:1996.
