Acquisition of CE mark/ISO9001:2008
MAXPULL MACHINERY & ENGINEERING CO., LTD. acquired “ISO9001:2008” certification, which is an international standard of quality management system defined by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) on March 10, 2014 for the first time as a domestic independent winch manufacturer. Here reports that we also passed the surveillance audit on March 1, 2017.
■Background of acquisition
MAXPULL WINCH has about 70% market share in Japan and in recent years, we been highly evaluated by overseas customers because of our safety and design concept. While globalization progresses, establishment of business processes that comply with global standards is essential.
As the market expands and changes in this way, MAXPULL WINCH acquired “CE mark”, which is a proof of trust that meets the safety standards of EU member countries on July 17, 2012. While companies generally acquire it on their own, the company dared to have the product evaluated and documented by an external inspection agency (UK: TRaC Global Ltd).
For the subsequent acquisition of “ISO9001:2008” certification, a full-fledged preparation was started by organizing an ISO Promotion Committee, for example, recognizing that it is essential for strengthening of business foundation, facilitation of transactions, and promotion of sales in these global markets.
In Japan, there are many cases in which certification is obtained for each factory or office, however, the company worked to obtain certification company-wide, including indirect departments such as sales department and general affairs and accounting department in addition to manufacturing department and design department.
The reason why the entire company worked on ISO9001 was that the 2008 version of ISO9001 aimed to improve the overall performance of corporate management and we thought that it was necessary to build a system that improved customer satisfaction company-wide in order to acquire [true customer satisfaction].
The company have always strived to improve quality to provide good products and services. The introduction of ISO9001 has improved awareness in all departments and as the result, we can always deliver high quality products and services to our customers.
The acquisition of this “ISO9001:2008” certification has enhanced the international credibility of our products and has promoted the worldwide business development furthermore while the borderless world continues to progress in today’s world market.
We dared not proceed to easily acquire the new international standard, “ISO9001:2015”, but created and carried out “MAXPULLQS” for which
