ISO 9001:2008 Quality System Certification

GOW-MAC® Instrument Co., (USA) manufacturers of gas chromatographs and gas analysers, has received ISO 9001:2008 certification by way of BSI Group America Inc. (BSI), a leading global provider of ISO-standards-based assurance, compliance, and information solutions. Frank Rocchino, Director of Compliance and Documentation at GOW-MAC, explains, "GOW-MAC has been producing high-precision analytical instrumentation for over 75 years, so the concept of ‘quality’ is certainly something that was a fundamental component of our culture. However, conforming an entire company's Quality Management System to meet the stringent ISO 9001:2008 Standard requires a total commitment from the entire company.

During a company celebration, Jeffrey Lawson, President/CEO recognized the GOW-MAC team, saying that, "This is a very important accomplishment for GOW-MAC. I am very proud of our employees. They are the ones that really made the ISO 9001:2008 registration possible with a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication. This is a clear sign to our customers that GOW-MAC is committed to continually improving our quality management system in order to meet their needs and the needs of evolving analytical markets."

Ken Fincke, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at GOW-MAC, added, “Those manufacturers seeking to access new markets largely need ISO 9001:2008 accreditation in place to do so. The certification allows us to move quickly on to the next phase of our product development.”
