Outdoor horse riding all year round thanks to frost-free surface

No matter whether you enjoy horse riding as your hobby or professionally, the weather is a significant parameter when it comes to outdoor riding. Especially in the Nordic countries, where rain and sleet, snow and frost are weather report standards many days of the year, countless riding hours are spent in indoor riding arenas. The outdoor track is just one big puddle or hard as rock after several days with sub-zero temperatures. However, using rubber granulate as top layer in horse riding arenas provides a dry and frost-free arena all year round.

Globally valid ISO certifications

As a part of Genan’s strategic and persistently systematic work on Quality, Environment, Health & Safety and Energy Management, we follow the requirements outlined in the following four international standards: ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management) and ISO 50001 (energy management). Thanks to operational excellence and cross-factory knowledge sharing as well as the determined efforts of Genan staff at all locations, we have managed to achieve these globally valid certifications of our six tire recycling plants. In December 2021, all six factories were audited by certification company GUTcert, and we now proudly present the result: four separate ISO certifications, each covering all six Genan plants. These four ISO certificates illustrate the strict requirements we impose on ourselves in respect of both quality, workplace safety, environmental responsibility as well as when it comes to structuring our energy management for energy-saving operation at all Genan plants – striving for a sustainable future. Find the certificates here.
