Bodine Electric Company's Quality Management System Now Certified to ISO 9001:2008


NORTHFIELD, IL – Bodine Electric Company, a leading manufacturer of small gearmotors, motors and motor speed controls, has attained ISO 9001:2008 certification. The ISO 9001 standard is an internationally recognized framework that specifies requirements for an organization’s management system. It enables the organization to consistently produce products that satisfy customers’ needs. Bodine Electric's quality system was assessed by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), one of the world’s leading providers of accredited management systems certification.



ISO certification is the latest milestone in Bodine Electric’s long-term commitment to continuous improvement and meeting the requirements of the most demanding customer applications. Certification covers all aspects of the company’s management system from product realization, design and development, sales, purchasing, production and customer service.  The certified management system ensures measurable, repeatable and consistent results.



John Bodine, Bodine Electric’s President and CEO says: “Our goal has always been to do things right the first time, conform to all known requirements, and provide on-time, defect free products. We had most of the pieces in place and our history has shown that we’ve accomplished that goal in the past. However, in today’s world we need to continuously evaluate our systems and going through the certification process has really helped us focus our management capabilities in this area.”



This latest accomplishment brings all Bodine manufacturing locations in ISO 9001:2008 compliance.
