The announcement was made by Director of Sales and Marketing Kyle Lindsly-Roach at the company’s Gardena, California headquarters.
With a quality management system that conforms to ISO 9001 standards in place, the company can now meet customer and other stakeholder needs within statutory and regulatory requirements related to their products.
The company started the certification process in January of this year because they saw the need for ISO certification to better support current and future customers. To do so, E-Z LOK partnered with a consulting company to design and build out their quality management system (QMS). Then, they implemented the QMS within their company. Lastly, the QMS was audited by an external company, thus verifying that the QMS was in place and effective.
“This gives us the potential to work with OEMs and distributors who need a robust quality system in place for their vendors," said Lindsly-Roach. "It opens up additional business opportunities for us with those customers who require an ISO certification for their suppliers.”
