To achieve the quality management standard the two companies combined had to demonstrate a clear customer focus, strong leadership, robust operational processes and a commitment to continual improvement.
The certification follows a rigorous audit by an independent assessment team from Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance, which approved a transition from ISO 9001:2008 to the latest standard.
A seamless transition was successfully achieved, with no “areas for attention” identified across the entire operational scope of the audit.
Alicja Weilechowska, Quality Manager for Cistermiser and Keraflo, said: “Achieving the revised standard not only confirms we have a strong business model but also, through implementation of our systems, that customers can be assured of receiving consistent, good quality products and services.
