SeaDek Earns ISO 9001 Certification

SeaDek Marine Products, a Rockledge, FL based manufacturer of specialized marine products, is proud to announce its recent ISO 9001 certification.

To become ISO 9001 certified, a company must fulfill requirements outlined by the ISO, or International Standardization Organization. Specifically, ISO 9001 requires an organization to demonstrate a quality management system with the ability to consistently provide product that meets customer as well as statutory and regulatory requirements.

ISO 9001 certification also means the organization has demonstrated its commitment to enhancing customer satisfaction through the application of the management system, with processes for continual improvement and the assurance of conformity to customer, statutory and regulatory requirements.

Jason Gardner, Vice President of SeaDek Marine Products, attributes the company’s successful completion of this important certification to the commitment of SeaDek’s employees. “Everyone from the president to the guys pulling foam on the factory floor not only rose to the occasion but far surpassed expectations. The ISO auditor assigned to our program said we were the only company in her long career to gain certification with no ‘non-conformances” he said. “The procedures we have now put in place will make us work smarter, safer and serve our OEM and aftermarket customers better than ever.”
