About  |  History  |  Locations  |  Mission Statement  |  Environmental Health & Safety  |  In the News
 An ISO 9001:2008 Certified Company
Techmer PM, LLC achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification in August 2010 after being ISO 9001 certified since June 1996. Certification was awarded by Intertek under the RAB and RVA accreditation. The entire ISO certification process took just over 18 months. The majority of the time was used to unify the quality systems of the two existing plants. Personnel in both locations were assigned to work with each other to develop the best procedures. The result was one Quality System for the entire company.

What does this mean to you, the customer? ... Consistency between manufacturing sites

Unlike many companies, Techmer PM, LLC chose to be certified under one certificate. We felt it was critical every plant followed the same Quality System with the same policies and procedures. Although one certificate meant both plants had to pass before any certificate could be issued, we were dedicated to achieving the same level of quality no matter where the product was produced.

 Quality Policy
It is the policy of Techmer PM, LLC to establish and maintain leadership in our industry, and dedicate ourselves to continual process improvement. At Techmer PM, LLC quality is a team effort, where every individual takes on the responsibility of creating a quality product.
