Craftech Industries Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification, Elevating Quality Standards

Hudson, NY – Craftech Industries, Inc. proudly announces the successful attainment of ISO 9001:2015 certification, superseding our former ISO 9001:2008 accreditation. With the 2008 standard set to expire in September 2018, upgrading to the 2015 version was essential to maintain our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

While ISO 9001:2008 emphasized meeting customer expectations, the 2015 revision centers on overall performance and incorporates risk‑based thinking within a robust Plan‑Do‑Check‑Act framework that permeates every level of the organization.

Large banners proclaiming “ISO 9001 Certified” have become common in manufacturing, yet many still wonder what it truly signifies. In short, it confirms that a company has satisfied stringent international quality‑management criteria set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, publishes over 21,000 standards that influence technology and business worldwide. ISO 9001 is built on seven core principles designed to foster relentless improvement:

• Customer focus
• Leadership
• Engagement of people
• Process approach
• Improvement
• Evidence‑based decision‑making
• Relationship management

ISO standards undergo a five‑year review cycle, ensuring they remain relevant amid evolving market dynamics such as globalization, complex supply chains, and heightened stakeholder expectations. “ISO 9001 has been updated to reflect these changes and to continue to be a useful tool for the marketplace,” notes ISO. https://www.iso.org
