Marlow
Industries, Inc. is First Thermoelectric Solutions Provider to Meet New
Stringent ISO 9001:2000 Standards
DALLAS,
TX --April 10, 2001 Marlow Industries, Inc., a worldwide leader in
innovative thermoelectric solutions, is the first company in its industry to
receive recommendation for the new ISO 9001:2000 registration.
ISO 9001
is an international model for quality management which sets the standards for
design, development, production, installation and servicing processes within a
company while emphasizing customer focus, and continual improvement. Late last
year, this standard was revised to require significant changes to existing
quality management systems including an increased focus on customer
satisfaction, process management and quality objectives.
BVQI, the
"top-rated" North American Management Systems Registrar (Quality
Digest, July 2000), conducted the audit of Marlow Industries for compliance to
the stringent new standards. After completion of the audit, BVQI recommended
Marlow Industries for immediate and unconditional certification to ISO 9001:2000
as they found no outstanding non-conformances.
Jack Hunt,
Director of Quality for Marlow Industries and veteran to audit standards for
over 20 years asserts, "This is certainly another milestone in the rich
heritage of quality at Marlow Industries." Hunt explained, "It is a
rare achievement for an organization to qualify to a new ISO revision without
the need for any post-audit activities or action plans." Barry Nickerson,
President and Chief Operating Officer of Marlow Industries added, "Most
companies will have to change the way they think to commit to a philosophy of
continual improvement, process management, and customer focus. Marlow Industries
didn't. We've been running our company this way for many years."
According
to Worldpreferred.com, Inc., an RAB recommended resource for accreditation
information on the Internet, Marlow Industries is one of the first 100 North
American companies and the only thermoelectric company on record to achieve
compliance with the new ISO 9001 standards.
