Profile of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group
The Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group is a globally operating trading company specialized in steel pipes and pipe &
tube applications for the Industry and Energy markets. What started out as a one-man company in 1924 in
Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands, has now grown into a global network of over fifty operating facilities in more than 20
countries on five continents, the majority of these being stock-holding branches. We offer a broad range of
customized pipe and tube products in various grades from stock, as well as a wide range of services. By applying our
specialist knowledge of sourcing, project management, logistics, and stock planning we help our customers achieve
their goals each and every day.
The Van Leeuwen Identity

Van Leeuwen is proud of its products and services, its history, and the entrepreneurial spirit that has moved the
company forward since 1924. We place great value on long-term continuity, and therefore look for long-term growth
instead of short-term profits. In doing so, we constantly focus on our customers and their ambitions: we are customer
oriented and dedicated to serving their needs. The strength of our worldwide logistics network ensures our ability to
efficiently deliver our products and services on a global scale, and allows us to further expand our knowledge and
experience. In this way, we also strive to stimulate innovative entrepreneurship. Our global network also means we
are connected with our markets, customers, and suppliers – anywhere in the world.
We strive to be a globally leading specialist in the supply of high quality steel pipes and pipe and tube applications,
while remaining true to our roots as a family-owned business. We achieve these goals by engaging in long-term
relationships with our stakeholders, and by delivering high-quality products and services to our customers in the
Industry and Energy markets. In all our actions, from procurement to the final delivery to the customer, we will uphold
the highest quality and safety standards in a socially responsible manner.
Our Ambitions and Strategy

At Van Leeuwen, we are constantly working to strengthen our leading position in the Industry and Energy markets in
Europe, Asia and the America’s and to continue our growth in the rest of the world. We do so via a process of directed
growth and the provision of enhanced services. In addition to organic growth, we are always looking for potential
acquisitions that help us grow in areas where we do not yet have in-house expertise, or in geographical areas where
we do not yet have a strong presence. Ultimately, it is our goal to provide our customers an unparalleled level of
service through a product and service package that is as complete as possible, all on a truly global scale.
With every new branch we open and every acquisition we make, we are looking to expand our product and service
portfolio along with our global footprint. By doing so, we are positioning Van Leeuwen for sustained growth in both
existing markets and new markets, in terms of product specialisms and geographies.

hollow sections, valves, fittings, flanges, bars, structural steel, and related products, and services including cutting, re-
stamping as per Directive 2014/68/EU, and material finishing”.
1.1 Field of Application ISO 9001

As quality is of the utmost importance to Van Leeuwen, we strive to have all our branches ISO 9001 certified. Most
branches currently have this certification, and it is our goal to have new branches certified within three years of start-
up or acquisition. All sites with ISO 9001 certification are listed in Appendix A.
Since Van Leeuwen is a trading company, design and development are not part of our core activities.
1.2 Field of Application OHSAS 18001

At Van Leeuwen we have placed high priority on health and safety in the workplace. The OHSAS 18001 standard is the
starting point for our efforts in this area in all of our branches. The sites with OHSAS 18001 certification are listed in
Appendix B.
2. Normative Referral
The Quality and Occupational Health & Safety management systems of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group have
been formulated with the objectives and organizational structure of the company in mind, and are in accordance with
the most recent version of the ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 standards, respectively. The Social Responsibility
management system will also be formulated in order to conform to the goals and structure of the company, and will
be compliant with the ISO 26000 guideline upon implementation.
3. Terms and Definitions

In the Quality management system of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group, the terms and definitions as described
in the latest edition of ‘EN ISO 9000: Quality Management Systems – Fundamentals and vocabulary’ apply.
Page 26 of 154
4. Quality and Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems
The Quality and Occupational Health & Safety management systems of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group
describe how the business processes employed by the Group and its companies are controlled. As a trading company,
the scope of these processes is from receiving a customer enquiry up to and including delivering the requested
products, services, and documents to the customer. This also includes the safety policies that must be adhered to in
all aspects of the day-to-day operations within the companies in the Group.
The implementation of the internal business processes is described in the relevant management system procedures.
The Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group’s procedures are leading for the regions, and sites. Where required, they will
be supported by local procedures. In the event of disputes regarding the translation of documents for the Quality and
Occupational Health & Safety management systems, the authorized editions of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group
are binding. This follows from the organizational structure of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group:
The Manager Corporate Quality, Safety, and Environment (QSE) will regularly check whether the management systems
and all accompanying documents meet the applicable standards. Further responsibilities include the controlled
distribution of the documentation regarding the management systems, and any approved modifications. These
responsibilities are shared with local QSE officers at the regions, and/or sites.
With the statement of the Executive Committee regarding quality, safety and social responsibility as a starting point,
the Quality and Occupational Health & Safety management systems within Van Leeuwen are structured as follows:
Page 27 of 154
The internal business processes by which the companies within the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group fulfill the
requests and requirements of our customers are focused on the continuous improvement of all aspects of our
performance:
In our efforts towards the continuous improvement of our internal processes, we regularly measure the outcomes of
these processes. In order to interpret these measurements, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are employed on a
group-level. Regional and site managers may additionally establish KPIs for the control of (local) sub-processes. These
KPIs are subsequently used to formulate actions at a strategic and operational level that will lead to continuous
improvements of our processes and operations.
Page 28 of 154
5. Management Responsibility
The Statement from the Executive Committee serves as the foundation for the operational functioning of the Quality,
Occupational Health & Safety, and Social Responsibility management systems of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube
Group and its companies. Management is responsible for the identification of management objectives that control the
business processes within Van Leeuwen. Additionally, management is responsible for the realization of these
objectives and for the execution of assignments, orders, and policies. Finally, a Manager Corporate Quality, Safety,
and Environment (QSE) will ensure maintenance of, and adherence to, all quality and safety management systems.
In order to control the business processes within the Van Leeuwen Companies, management objectives are identified
by the Executive Committee. Regional and site management are responsible for identifying objectives for the sub-
processes, as well as the implementation of actions required for the achievement of these objectives. Progress
towards their achievement is measured by means of KPIs. These are periodically reported to the Executive Committee
and are discussed with regional and site management during management reviews. Based on these discussions, new
objectives for the improvement of business processes, as well as corrective actions in case of non-conformities, are
identified and implemented.
Within this framework of objectives divisional, regional, and site management are responsible for the customer-
oriented and cost-effective functioning of their respective organizations. Additionally, they will ensure that all policies
regarding quality, safety, and social responsibility are implemented and understood by all employees. To that end,
they will make the necessary resources and qualified personnel available and will safeguard that the requirements
stemming from the management systems are adhered to. The responsibilities and required competencies of
employees, as well as the functional relationships between them, are documented in organizational diagrams, job
profiles, and procedures in the management systems.
The Executive Committee has appointed a Manager Corporate QSE for the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group, who
reports directly to the Executive Committee. The Manager Corporate QSE has full authority to ensure that all quality
and safety management systems are maintained to the latest standards and that they are adhered to. Local Quality
Assurance and Safety officers support the Manager Corporate QSE and report to their respective site’s management.
The Manager Corporate QSE performs an annual performance evaluation of the quality and safety systems of the Van
Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group. This report is the basis for an annual assessment by the Executive Committee of the
functioning of the group’s policies and quality & safety systems. Additionally, a semiannual management review per
region and site is carried out with respect to the performance of these policies and systems.
Page 29 of 154
6. Resource Management
Van Leeuwen is dedicated to ensuring our Quality and Occupational Health & Safety systems are implemented and
well-maintained, and that our processes are continuously improved. Therefore, the required resources will be
allocated by senior management. Similarly, resources will be provided to ensure customer satisfaction by meeting
their requirements. Keys to achieving these two goals are human resources and an appropriate infrastructure, which
includes information systems.
6.1 Human Resources

All personnel of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group and its companies have adequate theoretical knowledge and
practical skills to fulfill their jobs within our organization. To ensure their knowledge and skills are maintained at a high
level, Van Leeuwen provides training courses where required. The Executive Committee is responsible for formulating
the strategic policies that serve as a starting point for these courses. Taking local legislation into account, specific
attention will be paid to quality and safety in the workplace, environmental sustainability and labor conditions, and
the related rights and obligations of both the employee and the employer. All training courses taken by employees are
registered and archived.
Training plans for the divisions, regions, and sites are developed locally. The plans for key employees are reviewed
annually during a Group HR meeting with the Manager Corporate Human Resources. Local training plans are
supplemented by corporate Project Management and Management Excellence programs.
In addition to continuously improving the capabilities of our employees, their health and safety is a key focal point.
Each site has procedures in place for the notification, registration, and reporting of accidents in the workplace, and
more importantly, the prevention of accidents.
6.2 Infrastructure and Information Systems

The infrastructure at Van Leeuwen consists of three main components: buildings, equipment, and information and
communication systems. Buildings and equipment are necessary for the execution of our business processes, while
the information and communication systems support these processes.
In order to ensure safe and efficient operations, site managers are responsible for the systematic examination and
maintenance of all buildings (offices and warehouses), equipment, and machinery on their respective sites. Within the
context of local legislation and regulations, focal points are working conditions, health and safety, and the
environment. Van Leeuwen and its companies will always be in full compliance with all legislation and regulations
imposed on operations.
The information and communication systems are set up and maintained in accordance with the Van Leeuwen Pipe
and Tube Group’s IT strategy, which is applicable to all divisions, regions, and sites. Divisional and regional directors,
as well as the site managers, are supported by the Group’s Manager IT.
The setup and maintenance of the information and communication systems includes, at a minimum, the following:
 Managing the hardware and software;

 Guaranteeing the continuity of the information and communication systems, including ensuring a back-up
function;
 The implementation and maintenance of a help-desk function, and;
 Protecting the company’s data by allocating access authorizations and using protection systems (e.g. anti-
virus and firewall software).

7. Realization of Products and Services
All companies within the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group provide our customers with products and services that
meet their specifications and requirements. We do so by carefully planning our product realization and managing our
customer-related processes, procurement, and operations. Additionally, we engage in the constant measurement,
analysis, and improvement of our activities. Central in all our efforts is the customer:
Planning
Continuous
Improvement Customer Procurement
Operations
7.1 Planning of Product Realization

At Van Leeuwen, we supply products that are in accordance with customer specifications as well as internationally
accepted norms and standards. We maintain detailed product descriptions and specifications. In order to ensure that
the products we procure are of high quality we utilize an Approved Manufacturers List (AML). Potential suppliers are
selected by following applicable group-procedures, and after successful completion of the procedure they are placed
on the AML. The AML is maintained centrally at the responsibility of the Manager Corporate QSE.
The majority of our products have material certificates which describe, for example, the material’s origin, history,
quality, tolerances, and more. A system is in place for random inspections of quality and potential defects upon
reception of products in our warehouses. We also carry out additional testing if the customer so desires.
The range of products Van Leeuwen companies carry on stock is determined by the regional and local directors, and is
managed by the respective sites’ logistics managers. Our business processes are carried out systematically in a
customer-oriented, cost-effective manner, and are supported by the necessary records.
The Manager Corporate QSE manages the following information in the Quality Assurance information system:
 Approved manufacturers;
 Product specifications;
 Quality assurance data regarding manufacturers and suppliers;
 Quality system documents of the group, divisions, regions, and sites, and;
 Norms and standards.
All documents are assessed and approved by authorized staff before they are made available to users through an
internal electronic network.
11
Page 31 of 154
7.2 Customer-Related Processes
Van Leeuwen provides customers with product information via the company website, by means of offline brochures,
and through direct communication. Additional information is made available to customers upon request.
All our products and services are supplied in conformance with the specifications and conditions that have been
agreed upon with the customer. Additionally, they comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Any
orders or projects are planned and carried out by the divisions, regions, or sites based on the stock range and delivery
programs of approved manufacturers, and where applicable conform to the customer’s requirements and
specifications regarding specific suppliers.
Before quotations and contracts are finalized and signed, any discrepancies with the original enquiry by the customer
will be identified and remedied. Supplementary requirements and contract changes by the customer are reassessed
by the responsible managers before they are accepted. All documents relating to submitted quotations and acquired
orders and projects are managed in accordance with the applicable procedures.
We take customer feedback very seriously. Any customer complaint will be handled professionally by our employees.
In case of customer complaints, we will work with our customer to remedy the situation, while also investigating the
cause of the complaint in order to take corrective and preventive actions.
7.3 Procurement
The Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group has developed procedures for the procurement of products and services from
our suppliers. We procure from manufacturers that are approved under the responsibility of the Van Leeuwen Pipe
and Tube Group and have been placed on our Approved Manufacturers List.
We distinguish between procurement for stock and customer-specific procurement. Stock procurement is carried out
based on anticipated demand, product availability, and the applicable product specifications. Quotations from
manufacturers on the AML are requested, and based on these quotations the best supplier is selected. In case of
customer-specific procurements, product requirements are established in cooperation with the customer. Similarly to
stock procurement, these requirements determine the supplier selection. Before an order is placed at a manufacturer,
all purchase documents are assessed on completeness and accuracy by authorized staff.
Upon arrival of procured goods at a Van Leeuwen site, the required documentation is verified and a random quality
check is performed, all in accordance with established procedures and with the use of suitable equipment. Incoming
goods are assigned a unique identification code and, when approved, they are registered in our information systems
in a manner that allows recall or replacement at a later stage if non-conformities are discovered. In addition to our
own quality inspections, customers may inspect products at manufacturers’ sites or at Van Leeuwen premises upon
request. All inspection reports are archived and maintained in conformance with requirements and regulations.
12
Page 32 of 154
7.4 Operations
High quality product and service provision are Van Leeuwen’s core strengths. Therefore, the underlying processes
need to be well-managed. This starts with product descriptions, and continues with work instructions, equipment,
measurement and testing, product storage, and care for both our own and our customers’ properties.
Accurate and complete article descriptions are available to our employees and customers. These detailed article
descriptions, including the type of product, steel grades and qualities, and dimensions, are stored in our information
systems. Where applicable, production-heat codes are included. In this way, products that are stored in our
warehouses and those that have been sold to our customers can be traced back to individual production batches at
suppliers. This helps ensure that any non-conformity can be investigated and remedied.
To ensure a consistent process, detailed work instructions are made available to all employees. These work
instructions detail how specific tasks should be approached, and which steps need to be taken in order to complete a
task successfully and satisfactory. Group procedures may be supported by local procedures and work instructions if
the specific nature of the business or local regulations require so.
The use of suitable equipment is of the utmost importance for high-quality performance and a safe work
environment. All machines that are used at Van Leeuwen sites have been acquired specifically for their assigned tasks.
Only qualified and authorized personnel may operate machinery and perform maintenance. All maintenance is
executed periodically, or sooner if required, under strict safety guidelines. Van Leeuwen provides safety equipment
such as steel-toe boots to all employees who require them. For access to some areas, such as warehouses and
distribution locations (with the exception of clearly marked safe zones), the wearing of safety equipment is mandatory
to all, including office personnel and visitors.
Equipment for measuring and testing is available. This equipment is regularly calibrated in conformance with
regulations. Calibration, measuring, and testing are only carried out by competent and certified employees. In this
way, the validity of the outcomes is safeguarded. All calibrations, as well as the outcomes of measurements and
testing, are recorded and maintained in Van Leeuwen’s information systems.
The location, outfitting, and equipment of Van Leeuwen sites are carefully managed in order to ensure optimum
storage conditions for all stocked products. These stocked items are regularly inspected both quantitatively and
qualitatively according to established procedures. For specific products, some Van Leeuwen sites use automated
storage systems. Products with limited turnover are
identified promptly and actions are taken to ensure
they do not decline in quality. Storage,
conservation, packaging, and delivery all take place
in accordance with established procedures,
regulations, and – where applicable – with
customer requirements.
The Operations departments actively support the

logistic business processes of the divisions, regions,
and sites. Their aim is to provide a cost-effective
logistical operation that ensures the provision of
optimum service levels. Operations Managers are responsible for the creation of operational procedures for logistics
and expedition. The procedures are based on the strategy formulated by the divisional and regional directors and site
managers.
Whenever a customer’s property is on Van Leeuwen premises, employees of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group
will exercise care when handling this property. If property is lost, damaged, or found unsuitable for use, it will be
registered and the customer will be immediately informed. A customer’s property can include physical property as
well as intellectual property and personal data.
13
Page 33 of 154
7.5 Measurement, Analysis, and Improvements
Within the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group measurement, analysis, and improvement are focused on three main
areas. These are (1) the quality of suppliers and procured goods, (2) customer satisfaction, and (3) the performance of
our internal processes. All measurements and analyses serve as input for the continuous improvement of Van
Leeuwen’s business processes. In addition, they can be useful investigative tools in case of incidental non-
conformance to rules, regulations, and standards.
Quality of Suppliers and Procured Goods

Supplier performance data is collected on a regular basis. At the reception of purchased goods random quality
inspections are carried out. Furthermore, any non-compliance with requirements of Van Leeuwen or our customers is
recorded. This non-compliance can be in various areas, such as
product characteristics and quality, accompanying documentation,
or delivery performance. Recorded data is combined with other
inputs on supplier performance and analyzed. Where necessary,
actions for improvement are agreed upon with manufacturers.
In case non-conforming products are discovered, they are

reworked or repaired, rejected, destroyed, or released to the
customer under concession. Reworked and repaired products are
tested and inspected to ensure they are up to standard. All non-
conforming products, the nature of the non-conformity, any
actions taken subsequent to the discovery of the non-conformity, and concessions obtained from the customer are
recorded and maintained. Overall performance is recorded in a central database.
Customer Satisfaction
The satisfaction of our customers with our products and services is critical to the long-term prospects of the Van
Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group. We therefore invest great effort in understanding how satisfied our customers are,
and where we can improve our products, services, and processes.
Customer satisfaction is monitored by ongoing surveys carried out by the sites and regions. The objective of these
surveys is to gain insights into how our customers perceive the quality of the products and services provided by Van
Leeuwen, and what improvements can be made. The customers are selected based on several criteria that may
depend on the area of focus for that specific survey. For example, only customers that have purchased more than a
pre-determined value could be asked to participate in a particular survey.
The outcomes of all surveys are assessed and discussed by the regions, and sites during Management Review
meetings. The results of the surveys are then reported to the Manager Corporate QSE, who in turn reports the results
to the Executive Committee. The outcomes of these surveys serve as inputs for group-wide, divisional, regional, or
site-specific improvement programs.
In addition to customer surveys, Van Leeuwen records any customer complaint received. All complaints are analyzed
in order to determine the cause of the complaint. Corrective and preventive measures will then be taken. Similarly,
the success rate of quotations sent by Van Leeuwen companies is recorded and analyzed so that improvements can be
made.
14
Page 34 of 154
Performance of Internal Processes
To ensure that internal processes are working as they should, internal audits of all sites are regularly carried out. Their
purpose is to check for conformity to all regulations and requirements. The audits are performed by trained staff who
are independent of the business function that is audited. The results of these internal audits are reported to the staff
concerned. In case of non-conformity to rules and/or regulations, the problem must be remedied within six months (in
case of minor violations) or three months (in case of major violations) of the audit. Follow-up audits will be performed
to ascertain whether the measures taken have been adequate. The results of the internal audits are also used as the
basis for continuous improvement programs.
The Manager Corporate QSE monitors the execution of all internal audits, the reporting of non-conformities, and the
actions taken to remedy any non-conformity. Results are aggregated in a Performance Evaluation, which is
subsequently reported to the Executive Committee.
Whereas internal audits are conducted periodically, the day-to-day performance of the internal business processes is
measured in terms of Key Performance Indicators. These KPIs are based on the data reported through the ERP and
information systems. They are analyzed for trends and potential opportunities or issues. In case of deviations from
predetermined norms, or in some cases at the discretion of the responsible manager, analyses will be performed in
order to determine causes. Corrective or preventive measures will then be taken.
7.6 Continuous Improvement

We carefully plan our product realization and manage our customer-related processes, procurement, and product and
service provision. In addition, we constantly measure and analyze our performance in these areas. All this has one
goal: to continuously improve our processes, so that we can offer the best products and services to our customers’ full
satisfaction.
