March 29, 2017 - OMAX Corp., manufacturer of abrasive waterjet systems, announced today that it has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. This latest edition of the ISO 9001 quality management standard covers design, development, production and service and ensures the company has a process for continuous improvement in all four areas.

“Continuously improving on our products and service has always been a part of the OMAX philosophy, so introducing the ISO 9001:2015 standards was a natural fit,” says Stephen Bruner, vice president of marketing at OMAX Corporation. “There are many criteria that abrasive waterjet buyers must consider in their supplier. We want to give our prospective and current customers added confidence with our ISO 9001:2015 certification.”

The ISO quality system was developed in order to establish an internationally recognized standard of quality. Today, the ISO 9001:2015 standard is recognized in over 150 countries. ISO 9001:2015 requires certification by an independent certification body and annual audits to ensure conformance to the standard. Additionally, companies must carry out regular performance reviews through internal audits and meetings.
