Anglo has achieved the ISO9001 accreditation for quality, which recognises the commitment the window steel reinforcement supplier has made – and continues to make – to improving systems and services right across the business.
“ISO9001 is a globally recognised standard for quality management,” Anglo’s Managing Director David Evans said. “Implementing ISO 9001 means we have put in place effective processes and trained staff to deliver flawless products or services time after time.
“By meeting the criteria laid down by ISO9001 proves that we are an industry leader. There are many larger companies who wouldn’t choose suppliers that don’t have ISO9001, because without it they can’t be certain that they don’t have the systems in place to meet their demands.
“Also, this is the start of a journey, not the end. By becoming ISO9001 accredited, we are saying to the industry that we are committed to ongoing improvements.”
Achieving ISO9001 accreditation is part of Anglo’s mission to raise standards across the fenestration industry, and it reflects positive initiatives launched by the firm.
For example, Anglo is currently offering galv coating thickness meters to window fabricators on loan for free – whether or not if they are an Anglo customer – so they can check the quality of the products they receive for themselves.
The company also offers full traceability right through the production cycle. It sources steel in the UK and can provide mill certificates against each product that it manufactures.
“We test product all the way through the production cycle and we will certify that product to the customer, guaranteeing that exceptional quality is absolutely what they get,” David said. “In turn, this allows our customers to confidently invest in their operations, giving them the room to expand into new markets and win new customers.
“Also, as we expect to see an increase in demand for windows, following changes to the planning laws due to be implemented by the government, window fabricators need to be confident that their supply chain is robust enough to meet those challenges – and our ISO9001 accreditation says we are up to scratch.”
