In July 2000, our quality management system was certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:1994, after only 7 months of preparation. The supervision checks performed in 2001 and 2002 have proven the complete compliance with the system requirements. In July 2003, we were required to re-certify our quality management system according to the new standard DIN EN ISO 9001:2000. This could have been done only at a high financial and administrative cost, though.
It is our firm and honest conviction, though, that we are able to maintain, supervise and secure the quality standard of our company now and in the future without the ISO 9001 standard.
For this reason,our quality management system will not be certified to ISO anymore. Of course, the decision to do so did not come easy to us and we have included our customers´ and suppliers´ opinion in our own thoughts. After assessing and evaluating all advantages and disadvantages, we have come to the perception that high quality will always prevail, no matter if it is based on the ISO-standard or not.
Nonetheless, we still guarantee all our customers a reliable and flexible order processment at the same high quality level as with ISO! In addition, we happily invite all our valued clients to evaluate our new quality management system and to control its enforcement at any time.
