ETS-Lindgrens Finland Facility Awarded ISO Certification

ETS-Lindgren's Finland Facility Awarded ISO Certification

Facility Fully Complies with Major Revision to ISO Standard 9001

Cedar Park, Texas December 20, 2017 ETS-Lindgren announced its Eura, Finland facility, previously certified to ISO 9001:2000, successfully completed the requirements for compliance with the new ISO 9001:2015 for the following scope: "The sales, design, manufacture and installation of electromagnetic compliance facilities."   Official approval was received on December 12, 2017.  The Finland facility is particularly proud of this recent ISO 9001:2015 certification since it reflects compliance with the significantly revised ISO 9001 document; the last major revision to the document was issued in the year 2000.  Changes in the current version were made to address customers that are more demanding, the emergence of new technologies, increasingly more complex supply chains, and greater awareness of the need for sustainable development.  The opportunity for an integrated management system that addresses other elements such as environment, health and safety, business continuity, etc. is also addressed in the current version.

"We've enjoyed ISO 9001:2000 certification of our Finland facility for many years now.  The new ISO 9001:2015 certification, however, is more complicated, including for example, an explicit requirement for risk-based thinking to support and improve the understanding and application of the process approach.  This aligns with the greater emphasis in the new certification on achieving desired process results to improve customer satisfaction, something we are committed to at ETS-Lindgren," said JJ Vachoux, Managing Director, Solutions for ETS-Lindgren's Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operations. He credited the entire ETS-Lindgren Finland team for taking the extra steps necessary to achieve the demanding ISO 9001:2015 certification noting, "Our success was contingent upon personnel in all departments recognizing the importance of quality assurance principles.  With this certification, our customers may have greater confidence in our product performance, delivery and service."   

The Eura, Finland facility, the manufacturing centerpiece of ETS-Lindgren's operations in Europe, has a dedicated staff of direct employees who perform administration, sales, engineering, project management, installation and service functions.  The world-class manufacturing and QA facility produces RF pan-type shielded panels, RF swing and sliding doors, shielded waveguide vents, and RF shielded components.  The Finland facility conveniently services its EMEA based customers in the EMC, RF Microwave, Wireless, MRI medical and Acoustic industries.  ETS-Lindgren also maintains offices in Paris and Dubai as part of its EMEA operations.

The company boasts four facilities worldwide that are ISO certified: ETS-Lindgren's headquarters in Cedar Park, Texas; its Asia facility located in the Haidian district of Beijing; its India facility located in Bangalore, and its Europe facility located in Finland.
