"The ISO 9001certification will give our customers the assurance that they can expect products and services from Stone-Stamcor that will exceed their requirements," he said when he received the framed certificate from Adri du Plessis, accreditation manager for Price Waterhouse Coopers.
He paid tribute to the Stone-Stamcor employees who "embraced the challenges of meeting the exacting standards of ISO 9001".
Adri du Plessis said the ISO 9001 standard is the most successful product from "the world of voluntary international standardisation".
