Indian platemaking equipment supplier accredited by ISO

Following a process lasting almost two years, India-based photopolymer platemaking equipment supplier Innovative Flextech has had its work processes accredited to the quality management standard ISO 9001: 2008. Innovative is one of the first organizations in India to achieve this version of ISO 9001, which updates and replaces the 2000 version.

Alpesh Thakar, director of Innovative, said: ‘We are delighted to achieve accreditation, gaining recognition for our commitment to quality and to continuous improvement. We are proud to join over 500,000 organizations across the globe that have established ISO 9001 as the preferred quality assurance standard. In working towards this award, we have analyzed and challenged every aspect of Innovative’s operations, involving every employee and a number of customers. This has resulted in many improvements to both what we do and how we do it.

‘I believe that we are now a much more efficient and agile organization as a result of the quality journey we have taken. It has been a great experience in terms of teamwork and we were all happy and relieved when we received the good news. The award covers our full range of flexo platemaking equipment and we look forward to delight our clients even more in the future. We are particularly pleased to have been given this accolade at our first attempt.’
