Congratulations to the Leeds, Alabama facility on earning ISO certification. Specifically, the facility has met the standards for ISO9001:2008, which outlines requirements for Quality Management Systems. According to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) website, the 9000 family of certifications “addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistentlymeet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.” ISO certification is an achievement customers have come to expect – and in some cases require – of their suppliers. “This achievement is thanks to the dedication of the team in Leeds, and the collaboration of every business unit and department,” commented Quality Manager Gary Kissick. “Fifteen months ago we began the process of creating the necessary procedures, implementing documentation, training employees and developing our Quality System. Our hard work paid off with our passing our accreditation audit with zero ‘findings’ on our first try.” About ISO ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards. International Standards give state of the art specifications for products, services and good practice, helping to make industry more efficient and effective. Developed through global consensus, they help to break down barriers to international trade. LEEDS, ALABAMA FACILITY EARNS ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFICATION
