ELECTRONICS INC. – ISO CERTIFICATION
In our 50 years of operation, Electronics Inc. has been dedicated to providing our customers with quality products and services on which they can depend. So when customers inquired whether we were certified under a quality management system, we were eager to prove ourselves. ISO’s emphasis on continual improvement resonated with our staff. We have always focused on innovation in the industry and improving our understanding of shot peening.
While our implementation team worked through the certification process, we found that Electronics Inc. already met many of the requirements of ISO 9001. Now we have a structured framework for the daily actions that keep our operation running smoothly. We also learned new methods to monitor the quality of our products over time and to be proactive about potential disruptions. This guarantees that our products and services will always meet the high standards to which Electronics Inc. holds itself. By formalizing our quality management, we can ensure that our commitment to quality is not just a promise but a practiced reality.
In December of 2023, we passed our certification audit with flying colors.
