- 11/10/2006

Pursuit of excellence is a driving force for Promon, a finalist in this year’s edition of the award



Founded in 1960, Promon is a Brazilian organization recognized for its engineering and project management expertise and strong entrepreneurial capacity. Its core business is the design, integration and implementation of complex infrastructure solutions for key economic sectors such as power, oil & gas, process industries, chemicals, petrochemicals, mining, metallurgy, telecommunications, and information technology.

Promon has used the criteria of excellence recommended by Brazil’s National Quality Foundation (FNQ) since the 1990s. Adoption of this model has brought important benefits, especially in terms of continuous improvements to management practices, a cornerstone of Promon’s strategy. The decision to apply for the 2006 National Quality Award (PNQ) was motivated by the certainty that participation in the process alone is sufficient to intensify these benefits and enhance the company’s competitiveness.

Throughout its 46-year history Promon has tackled many daunting challenges and accomplished many outstanding achievements. Recognition as a finalist in the 2006 edition of the PNQ expresses the past and present ability of its professionals to create a truly special organization for which the pursuit of excellence is a basic driving force, in every activity and grounded in essentially human values. For Promon excellence is a permanent goal that is never completely attained, because continuous improvement in everything it does is an endless process.

Promon’s organizational culture is one of its unique characteristics. Conceived as a community of professionals, it has always adopted values such as excellence, respect, integrity, trust, equity and independence as fundamental pillars. Its business model, adopted in 1970, remains boldly innovative even by today’s standards: the organization’s staff are its sole shareholders and are encouraged to participate intensely in corporate affairs by electing top management, sharing profit and capital, and contributing to the formulation of strategies.

The concept of quality advocated by the FNQ is intrinsic to Promon’s pursuit of excellence and to its product and service offering. That same concept also informs all processes and relationships with the environment of which the organization is part, including clients, partners and suppliers, as well as government, its own professionals and the broader community. The pursuit of excellence is an attitude, a frame of mind, an exhilarating and stimulating credo.
