ISO 9001
MSI’s quality systems are certified to ISO 9001. ISO 9001 is a quality system developed in Switzerland in 1943. The ISO system consists of 20 individual elements within the company which must conform to the ISO requirements. These areas range from raw materials receiving, production and shipping to purchasing, quality assurance and sales. The strength of ISO 9001 lies in its mandate for continual improvement and, when used effectively, will result in continued product improvement. We believe this will result in better products and service for our customers, improving customer relations, and cementing our leadership status.
