The challenge

Kingspan, a leading manufacturer of insulated panels and construction products, operates globally with over 11,000 employees. Known for their innovative and sustainable building solutions, Kingspan maintains high standards of quality, health, safety, and environmental compliance. 

Their challenges:

The solution

Kingspan turned to Ideagen for its:

• Enhanced employee understanding of local legislation through clear and concise checklists 

The outcome

Ideagen has significantly enhanced Kingspan’s QHSE management processes, ensuring better efficiency, control, and compliance with international standards: 

• Centralized compliance management for sites across five continents.
