"We are proud to be among just a handful of companies worldwide to boast all three of these ISO certifications, and pleased to occupy a leadership position in this area among manufacturers of miniature motors," says Rutesh Joshi, General Manager of Portescap's Brush Motor Business Unit and Managing Director of Portescap India. "These certifications help substantiate Portescap's commitment to being a world class company with world class facilities, as well as our goal to strike a healthy balance between engineering the highest quality miniature motion control products in the world and a sincere concern for and commitment to the environment and the well being of our employees," he says.
ISO 9001 means that Portescap's product quality is guaranteed to meet the highest quality standards worldwide, resulting in maximized product safety and fewer costly inspections for the customer. Companies that operate according to ISO 9001 offer a systematic approach to cooperation with the customer via thorough process documentation, from product conception to product manufacturing and delivery at the customer's doorstep. Rigorous process checks and follow-up documentation at Portescap optimize product and service quality, while minimizing the amount of additional quality checks and reports at Portescap's customer base.
ISO 14001 emphasizes the effort that Portescap puts into protecting the environment for future generations, demonstrated in large part by their choice of raw materials and the attention given to waste control and energy consumption in the production process. Dedicated efforts in removing hazardous substances from Portescap products - starting with product development and continuing through to the manufacture of highly energy efficient green products - are at the center of Portescap's vision in attaining ISO 14001 certification.
