Manteca, California
February 26, 2003After a two-year internal
educational process, Manteca, CA-based
CelPril (a Bayer
Cropscience
company), has achieved ISO 9001:2000 Certification.
According to General Manager,
Boyd Hartman, ISO 9001:2000 certification assures CelPrilšs
Quality Policy of customer satisfaction through continual
improvement providing delivery of the highest quality products.
"ISO 9001:2000 is a worldwide procedure for providing
excellence," said Hartman, "in which every part of the
manufacturing and delivery process follows an intricate step by
step procedure that translates to providing products with high
quality standards."
CelPril began its ISO 9001:2000
Certification process two years ago. The tightly defined
educational process involved every CelPril employee from
management to the shipping dock. Every internal process was
evaluated and brought up to a tightly defined international
business standard.
"Achieving ISO 9001:2000 status
tells the world that CelPril has a qualified management system
in place, that we have taken a look inside ourselves and our
systems and have organized our company to follow a world
standard for manufacturing," said Hartman. "The certification
process was really quite an eye opener for most of us. The end
result is that CelPril is on track for continual improvement to
meet customer satisfaction."
ISO 9001:2000 Certification is
awarded to companies who have proven they are organized in such
a way that their company will automatically follow universal
international business procedures. "ISO 9000 Certification is a
very important step for CelPril," adds Hartman. "We are very
proud of our teamšs dedication to this process and to their
commitment to assuring delivery of the highest quality product
to our customers. ISO 9000 requires every CelPril employee to be
involved, to be on board and to be cognizant of the ongoing
positive rewards of the process."
CelPril, North Americašs
leading seed protection technology company, has provided high
