New certification adds to quality and enhanced collaboration to business processes

Boxborough, MA —Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions serving a wide range of industries worldwide, announced that it has certified Eco-CorFlex’s quality management system to ISO 9001:2008. Through this certification, Eco-CorFlex can better accomplish improved business process management and enhanced quality control.

ISO 9001:2008 is the internationally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems. Quality Management Systems must meet ISO standards because they incorporate documented processes, management commitment, necessary resources, and product realization to ensure customer satisfaction, as well as measurement and analysis to ensure improvement. A multiphase certification audit takes place prior to certification and registration.

Eco-CorFlex’s quality management system encompasses continuous improvement throughout the company. This cycle of improvement includes enhanced operational performance, more detailed customer service, increased interdepartmental communications, augmented work processes and customer/supplier relationships.

“We are thrilled to receive this ISO certification,” said Robert Hanson, President of Eco-CorFlex. “It recognizes that we have achieved key goals, providing customers with industry-leading products and excellent customer service. In addition, this certification also demonstrates our company’s commitment to achieving the highest quality of work processes, employee training and performance, marketing, facilities and all aspects of our business.”

The ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System standard comprises eight principles, including a strong focus on customer service, a formal statement of quality and commitment from top management, a process approach and continual quality improvement. Companies that receive this certification are committed to ensuring their customers receive the highest-quality products and services.
