Orbitform Earns ISO 9001:2008 Certification


Orbitform Group today announced that it has received ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management certification for the design and manufacture of orbital forming, fastening, joining, conveyor systems, and assembly equipment.

The certification verifies that key processes used to design and manufacture are continually monitored and improved to support secure communication of mission-critical information. The certification applies to all Orbitform functions responsible for manufacturing such as solution development, end-user support as well as operations and management.

"Our focus on continued process improvement fosters increased consistency and efficiency, which enables manufacturers to have open lines of communications with us from across the world," said Phil Sponsler, President of Orbitform. "Obtaining ISO certification demonstrates Orbitform's commitment to deliver a high level of service to customers today and into the future."

The ISO 9001:2008 standard is a set of quality practices that ensures the use of effective processes that are consistently monitored and continually improved. As the industry standard for quality management systems, ISO 9001:2008 certification requires evaluation by an independent, accredited auditing body. Though not required by its customers, Orbitform obtained the ISO certification as a result of its commitment to provide more than 12,000 worldwide users with quality equipment, service, and support.

The certification process required Orbitform to implement an ISO-compliant quality management system that established a systematic approach to managing processes. A third-party auditor assessed processes for effectiveness and compliance with the established processes. The assessment focused on solution development, procedure monitoring, process management, user feedback, product installation, documentation and records management, problem prevention and correction with other quality management practices within Orbitform's organization.
