On November 22nd, 2013 in response to a request from one of our most important customers, we welcomed the Intertek auditing team to perform a Workplace Conditions Assessment (WCA). The audit focused on the Work Place and Work Force.
At Jet Pulverizer, we understand that a quality product is the result of many critical elements and the workforce quality and workplace quality are among the most important. This latest audit demonstrates our commitment to meeting customer quality requirements.
We listen to our customers and appreciate the trust they place in us to produce and reproduce the best milled powders time and again. Over the years in response to customer requests and changes in the industry, we have implemented an ISO9001:2008 program and developed our FDA registered Food and Pharma processing services. We also designed the Pharma-Master® jet mills, USDA Accepted, for the strict Food and Pharma markets.
We are pleased to present the audit results with a 100% Facility score and 91% Country score. The results in total were outstanding. They are a tribute to our continuing efforts to improve how we do business here at Jet Pulverizer.
