KnitMesh Technologies secures ISO9001: 2000 & Tenneco award for its South African operation
KnitMesh Technologies, the UK-run specialist knitted wire design, development and manufacturing company, has secured IS09001: 2000 accreditation for its facility in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
In achieving the ISO9001: 2000 standard, the company has successfully demonstrated that it applies the same effective management systems at its South African operation as it does in the UK.
Comments UK General Manager, Peter Evans, “KnitMesh Technologies
places considerable importance on applying measurable standards and
quality systems across all activities. It has, therefore, been a
key focus to achieve this particular ISO standard in South Africa.
“In today’s global marketplace,” he continued, “organisations
have higher expectations regarding quality. Accordingly, they anticipate
consistent standards regardless of the country in which they choose
to trade. By attaining ISO9001: 2000, we are able to visibly demonstrate
that the procedures used in Port Elizabeth mirror those at our manufacturing
facility in Britain.”
As a further demonstration of the quality of the services and products
provided by its South African operation, KnitMesh Technologies has
also received a supplier award from Tenneco, one of the leading exhaust
manufacturers in South Africa.
KnitMesh Technologies South Africa General Manager, Hoosain Mahomed,
said “we were proud to be highlighted for our 100% on-time
delivery and zero defect rate”.
The Tenneco supplier award is a significant achievement for KnitMesh
Technologies South Africa, and reflects the hard work and dedication
of the plant management and 100 - strong workforce.
