Vertis Achieves Seventh ISO Certification In Bellmawr NJ; Celebrates 10 Years Of ISO In Chalfont PA
BALTIMORE (March 25, 2008) - Vertis Communications, the premier provider of print advertising and direct marketing solutions to leading retail and consumer services companies, announced today that its Bellmawr, N.J., direct mail facility has achieved the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000 certification, adding to an impressive portfolio of six other ISO-certified Vertis facilities. In addition, Vertis is proudly celebrating its 10th anniversary of ISO 9001:2000 certification in its Chalfont, Pa., direct mail location.
"Vertis has made a commitment to enforce the highest standards in all aspects of our production facilities," said Chuck Miotke, president, direct marketing for Vertis Communications. "We are proud to announce that our Bellmawr direct marketing facility has become the newest location to join our long history of ISO 9001:2000 certifications. It is yet another testament to Vertis' understanding of the quality and assurance necessary to meet customers' needs."
The ISO 9001:2000 standard forms the foundation for direct marketing facilities' management systems. Under this standard, the key focus of management systems is customer satisfaction and continual improvement, while ensuring a seamless customer experience across all company locations. In addition to the new ISO certification of Vertis' Bellmawr location, the company has six other certified direct mail facilities, including Chalfont, Pa., certified 10 years; North Brunswick, N.J., certified nine years; Bristol, Pa., certified eight years; Monroe Township, N.J., certified five years; Craig Adhesives & Coating in Newark, N.J., certified four years; and Chicago, Ill., certified four years.
The ISO certification is based on a three-year renewal program. Every six months, an external auditing organization visits each ISO-certified facility to audit a segment of the program against the applicable standards. Because each external audit builds upon a previous audit, each location must demonstrate continual improvement, customer satisfaction, and commitment to the process by facility management.
