Treofan achieves new ISO 9001:2015 certification in Germany

BOPP film manufacturer Treofan has been successfully certified in line with the newly revised DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 standard in Germany.

ISO 9001 is a certified quality management system for organizations who want to prove their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet the needs of their customers and other relevant stakeholders

Published in September 2015, ISO 9001:2015 places significantly higher requirements on companies than the previous version of the quality management system standard. When assessing risks, companies have to pay greater consideration to the external perspective of customers and other stakeholders.

The audit in June spanned the whole value chain, from development and production to sales. Treofan said early adoption of this standard makes it a pioneer, as only an estimated 10 percent of industrial companies worldwide have so far been certified in line with the updated standard.

The auditors from the SGS-TÜV Saar certification body found no deviations from the standard at Treofan. They emphasized positive findings such as the high level of investment and the interactive knowledge management platform.

‘Our passing of the audit with flying colors proves that we don’t just talk about quality, we live by it every day,’ stated Treofan CEO Dr Walter Bickel. ‘The decision to certify Treofan very soon after the introduction of the new standard once again underlines our positioning as an innovative premium supplier.’
