Onshore Quality Control Spec history

In the year 1952, the name was changed to Erndtebrücker Eisenwerk Hermann Klein & Co.

During the oil crisis in 1974, under the leadership of the new managing director, Jörg Schorge, the production programme was changed to include large DSAW steel pipes.

The ISO 9000 series of quality-management standards, for example, were published in 1987.

The year 1994 proved to be a turning point in the history of EEW. Because more and more specifications required pipes in 12 m (39.4 ft.) lengths without circumferential welds, the owners made the decision to install a state-of-the-art production line, the heart of which is a 13.2 m (43.3 ft.) press.

Beginning in 1995, the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award added a business results criterion to its measures of applicant success.

In 2000, the ISO 9000 series of quality management standards was revised to increase emphasis on customer satisfaction.

In 2001, EEW became an international company, by founding a plant in Sacheon, on the southern coast of South Korea.

Since its foundation in 2008, the monopole specialist from Rostock has made a significant contribution to the expansion of the offshore wind industry.

With the founding of EEW Malaysia, also in the year 2009, a second production location abroad was created.

Also in the year 2014, EEW Offshore Structures (Britain) Ltd. was founded.

Most recently in 2015, the ISO 9001 standard was revised to increase emphasis on risk management.
