GTE office locations in the U.S. and Europe now hold ISO 9001:2008 accreditation

DUNCAN, South Carolina – Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy services and aviation products is announcing that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has awarded the company the ISO 9001:2008 certification for its Fuels and Combustion Facility located in Duncan, SC.

With the ISO 9001:2008 certification, GTE validates meeting international requirements for its total quality management (TQM) systems, which are particularly important to engineering and technology companies. GTE’s commitment to excellence uses the globally implemented standard outlined by ISO to provide assurance about the company’s ability to satisfy quality requirements and to enhance customer satisfaction in supplier-customer relationships.

GTE’s South Carolina office is its third ISO 9001:2008 certified location, along with the Orlando, FL and Järfälla, Sweden facilities. The ISO standards drive business operations in areas such as order entry, design control, material procurement, document control, process control and training, among many more competencies and departments.

“GTE is a world-class engineering company and the ISO accreditation certifies our brand as a symbol of quality,” said Steven Zwolinski, Chief Executive Officer at GTE. “This is a great accomplishment for our team as quality management is the foundation of our continued customer satisfaction.”

In order to qualify to become an ISO 9001:2008 company, an organization must demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Since ISO requires self policing and compliance, the organization must aim to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system.

“We are dedicated to showing our development, implementation and commitment to quality,” said Joe Palmer, Manager for GTE’s Fuels and Combustion Facility, whose staff led the certification effort. “The nine-month certification process was well worth our commitment and will strengthen our business relationships.”

With the ISO certification, GTE effectively enhances its credentials as a leader in the industries it serves, creating a point of reference for customer trust and business growth in the international marketplace.
