Techmer PM Certifications

Certification

Techmer PM, LLC’s Quality Management System is certified to ISO 9001:2015. We achieved the original certification of our Quality Management System to ISO 9001 standard in June 1996. The original certification covered the Quality Management Systems of two manufacturing sites. Since that time, our number of sites has grown to six, all of which are united under one ISO 9001 Quality Management System certificate with Intertek as our registrar. Ultimately, our certification offers and ensures our customers consistency between manufacturing sites. We felt it was critical every plant follow the same quality system with the same policies and procedures. Although one certificate meant that all 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.

Certification

To support our automotive market customer base, we pursued and achieved certification to IATF 16949 standard in 2011. The certification applies to our Clinton, Tennessee site.
