The Early Years: A Solid Foundation

It was in 1899 when Don Antoni Ros established a workshop for manufacturing wooden sieves and screens in the Poblenou neighborhood of Barcelona. Together with his son-in-law, Juan José Sans Alabau, they moved to a new building located on Pere IV Street in Barcelona, initiating a new activity: the commercialization of metal mesh for industrial applications. With the drive of Sans Alabau, CISA Cedacería Industrial consolidated itself as one of the main suppliers of metal meshes at the national level. From the very beginning, dedication to well-executed work and attention to detail became the pillars of the company’s business philosophy.

Evolution and Growth

 As the market and technology evolved, CISA knew how to adapt and grow. In 1960, Jordi Ferrer Carabús, son-in-law of Sans Alabau, propelled the conception, commercial strategy, and evolution of the classic wooden sieve, transitioning from artisanal manufacturing to industrial production of precision metal sieves. This was complemented by a line of electromagnetic sieving machines that became a benchmark in the national market for almost 20 years: we are talking about the PTZ40 model. This sieving machine marked an important milestone in CISA’s history. This new product not only allowed expansion into new markets but also reinforced the company’s reputation as a pioneer in the industry.

Over the years, the product line was expanded to include sieving equipment with digital regulation, each designed with the same meticulousness and passion that characterize the company. The first sieving machine with digital regulation was the RP01 model, followed by the RP08 and RP10. CISA’s ability to anticipate and respond to market trends has been crucial in staying at the forefront. At the same time, the domestic sieve, which was only understood as a tool for separating coarser fractions from finer ones and was commonly used in barns, flour mills, foundries, and pharmacies, came to be considered a “tamiz”: a metrological tool subject to increasingly demanding normative criteria.

Looking Towards the Future

Currently, CISA is the world’s third-largest producer of certified sieves, placing it in a strong position for more ambitious objectives. Under the current CEO, Jordi Ferrer Sans, the company is established with a clear vision: to offer high-quality products that meet market needs.

Today, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary, we continue looking towards the future with enthusiasm and determination. We are committed to continuing to innovate and offering products that not only meet customer needs but also exceed their expectations. Additionally, our future plans include corporate social responsibility initiatives in the form of collaborations with local communities to support development and social well-being, as we desire this celebration to have a positive impact beyond the company.

• Manufacturing of test sieves.
• Service of inspection, calibration and test of sieves.
• Design and manufacture of test sieve shakers.
• Sieve shakers calibration.
• Commercialization of wire meshes.

Con el sistema de calidad ISO 9001, CISA demuestra que mantiene un desarrollo constante en sus trabajos de gestión diarios mediante el proceso de mejora continua. Además, es una importante acreditación para todo el equipo profesional que ha trabajado incansablemente para hacer de CISA el modelo de profesionalismo y calidad en su sector.

La ISO 9001:2015 demuestra nuestro compromiso continuo de brindar atención al cliente y un servicio de máxima garantía con productos de calidad y trazabilidad en sus procesos, productos y servicios, para todos los clientes.

This accreditation demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing customer focus and a consistently high service with quality products for all clients.

Since the first ISO in 2001, we have seen this transition as an opportunity to make necessary improvements which benefit our business, employees and customers alike. We are pleased that our efforts have been credited and we are motivated to continue to positively engage with the standards as part of our growth.

Why have a quality management system in place?

Having had ISO 9001 accreditation for a number of years now, we know the importance of having implemented such a well-recognised Quality Management System. We have been able to remain customer focused and meet customer expectations, improve our performance through strong communication, leadership and increased efficiency. We are a strong competitor in the granulometry sector and we know we owe this largely to our company structure, operational performances and its management system.

Our compliances give old, new and future customers, confidence in sharing their custom with us.

What is ISO 9001: 2015 and how is it different from the 2008 version?

ISO 9001:2015 is a high-level quality management system which is better integrated with other management systems bringing a common framework to all ISO management systems.

ISO 9001 have made changes to ensure that it remains relevant for all industries by better reflecting current economic and industry environments.

The changes made to ISO 9001 focused on leadership and increasing involvement from senior managers, better communication throughout all processes and identification of risks and opportunities.

What changes have we made at CISA?

• Planning – Processes have been standardised to increase efficiency and remove the risk of mistakes being made at any level.
• Leadership – The management and the management team have taken a hands-on approach to all necessary changes and have worked hard to fully understand the quality management system at all levels. There have been numerous management review meetings to identify changes needed. The benefits of this active leadership have been seen throughout the business with better communication and improved professionalism throughout.
• Communication – Strong communication has increased employee engagement and satisfaction. Goals are far clearer, attitudes are more positive and clear strategic processes and procedures mean everyone knows what is expected of them. This has led to consistent quality in service and customers feedback is extremely positive.
• Identification of Risks and Opportunities – We now plan for risks, address these risks and we have implemented a plan to deal with risks if, and when, they arise and finally creating the opportunity to analyse risk management to ensure actions taken are effective.
• Standardising Processes – We have standardised our processes for consistency and clarity. We continually evaluate these processes to ensure that they remain effective for customer requirements as their needs change.

Desde estas líneas, nuestra enhorabuena a todo el equipo profesional de CISA que ha contribuido al mantenimiento de esta normativa profesional.
