Meeting the rigorous criteria for this standard affirms its ability to consistently deliver an effective quality management system and drive continuous improvements to its services and internal processes, said Leitz.

“ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System standard is designed to be a powerful business improvement tool,” said ISO consultant Peter O’Reilly. “The newest update was revised to ensure that the standard continued to serve the business community and maintain its relevance in today’s marketplace. Leitz achieved transition to the new version of the standard with zero non-conformance. With previous ISO 9001:2008 certificates becoming invalid this September (2018), they are setting a benchmark for their industry.”

Overall operational efficiency as a result of the certification will be regularly audited by BSI to ensure that the standard is maintained.

“We are proud to be an early adopter of the updated standard within our industry and that our continued hard work has been recognised,” said Leitz Tooling UK managing director Simon Liddell.
