Vulcan GMS awarded ISO 9001-2008 status

Vulcan Global Manufacturing Solutions, a Milwaukee based supplier of parts and assemblies for the healthcare, aerospace, security, nuclear and industrial sectors, has achieved ISO 9001-2008 registration, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to customer service excellence and continuous process improvement.

The registration is awarded by the International Standards Organization (ISO), a global standards organization that seeks to provide a common system for best practices in business and awards the registration to companies who meet its rigorous standards.

The ISO 9001 standard outlines a number of requirements, which provides the foundation for companies to meet customer expectations and achieve customer satisfaction. The 2008 version introduces some important clarifications and incorporates some changes to improve consistency. Process management continues to be front and center, monitoring and optimizing a company's tasks and activities, instead of just inspecting the final product.

"We are all very pleased to have achieved our ISO 9001-2008 registration, becoming one of the first companies to do so," said Vulcan GMS President Tom Ray. "VulcanGMS has been ISO registered for more than 10 years and we have led our industry in accreditation to higher standards each time those standards have been announced. As a global company with multi-national customers, meeting all current state of the art standards helps us continue to provide the quality products and services our customers need and deserve. It is testament to the pride, dedication, and hard work of all of our employees that VulcanGMS is at the forefront of the industries we serve."
