It has been reported that Gemco Valve has received ISO 9001:2015 quality management system standard for the design and manufacture of industrial valves.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an independent, non-governmental group of voluntary members, who are recognized standards authorities, decided to facilitate the participation of small and medium sized enterprises (SME’s) in the ISO process.
Jim Lenihan, Gemco Valve president, saw this as an opportunity for the company to benefit from ISO’s state of the art technology, quality, environmental and management practices. “Although ISO 9001:2015 is a generic quality management system that can be applied to any kind of enterprise, it was previously used mostly by big companies and governments. But Gemco Valve has a growing number of international customers and we saw how the potential benefits of certification would offer an advantage for SME’s as well as large corporations and knew it was the way for us to go.”
Gemco Valve is now certified to a globally recognized standard that will allow the company to provide confidence to customers without them having to perform their own audits to ensure compliance.
