Wesgo Metals Receives ISO-14001 Certification for Environmental Performance
Wesgo Metals, a business of Morgan Technical Ceramics (MTC) and a leading provider of innovative braze alloys and related materials, announces that it has earned its ISO-14001 certifications. An international quality management standard, ISO-14001 certification encourages businesses to implement, maintain, and improve environmental management systems (EMS).
"This is a logical step forward," said Mark Miklos, General Manager of Wesgo Metals. "We have already demonstrated our environmental focus and capabilities by offering our customers high purity braze alloys. This certification further demonstrates and confirms Wesgo Metals' commitment to utilizing environmentally sound materials. Also, despite increased operating costs and industry trends, Wesgo Metals ensures product integrity by refusing to outsource alloy production to lower cost regions."
By manufacturing its products at its Hayward, California facilities, Wesgo Metals maintains the highest quality standards and ensures the exclusion of contaminants such as lead, cadmium, zinc, fluxes and other corrosive chemicals. "We decided long ago not to offer products containing these elements to prevent cross contamination. This way we can stay true to our core values in providing high purity, low vapor pressure braze alloys to industries where braze failure is not an option," said Miklos.
ISO-14001 requires compliance with a framework of environmental laws and regulations. As part of the certification, Wesgo Metals will identify and control the environmental impact of its manufacturing processes and end products, continually improve its environmental performance, and implement a systematic approach to setting and achieving its objectives and goals.
