CHARLOTTE, NC—Global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation of America announced it has achieved certification to ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, reflecting the organization’s commitment to quality, transparency and customer satisfaction. The certification is valid for three years and is provided by DNV GL – Business Assurance.
ISO 9001 is a widely used quality management standard, and has recently undergone a periodic update to better reflect modern business challenges. Last modified in 2008, the new 2015 version of ISO 9001 is the result of input from business and technical experts around the world. The program requires greater involvement of senior management, broader understanding of supply chains, and more focus on stakeholder (not just customer) expectations. By obtaining the certification, the company has confirmed its dedication to quality in its manufacturing and distribution processes.
In accepting the ISO registration certificate, Harper Corporate Quality Assurance Manager Ben Carter said, “We are extremely proud of our commitment to quality. Our ISO certification helps us continually move forward and, equally important, allows us to publicly communicate our dedication to excellence. It’s a symbol that everyone—our employees, our partners, our customers—recognizes and values.”
President Lee Kluttz adds, “We consider it an honor to be worthy of a place along with the superior performing companies who have ISO certification. This certification confirms our customers’ trust in us and validates Harper’s dedication to excellence in our manufacturing processes. We are pleased to be among first anilox manufacturers compliant to the latest ISO standard.”
