Syngenta Seeds is proud to announce that it has successfully achieved renewal of its ISO 9001 registration. Additionally, the added achievement of ISO 9001:2000 standard registration assures that quality systems are in place for not only the supply processes, but also the quality assurance, parent seed and customer support processes, as well as the overall management of NK* Brand corn hybrids and soybean, alfalfa and wheat varieties. 

The Syngenta Seeds supply management team first achieved ISO certification in 1998 and has received favorable reviews by third party audits every six months since.  "Our supply management team has done an exemplary job managing the overall production and handling of NK Brand seed products," said Albin Hubscher, head, corn & oil seeds, North America, Syngenta Seeds.  "Syngenta employees at each of our 14 locations take great pride in delivering products that exceed quality standards."

ISO 9001 is a collection of standards for quality management, quality assurance and continuing improvements that have been adopted by countries around the world.  The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization established in 1947 and is the world's largest developer of voluntary technical standards.

"Achieving the added ISO 9001:2000 standard for management practices further illustrates our commitment to continually improve our products, enhance customer satisfaction and deliver products to customers that exceed their needs," added Hubscher.  "Using our ISO Business Quality System helps us continually challenge ourselves to improve our business model and find new and better ways to assist growers in their pursuit of success."
