Precision Coating, a medical coatings service provider to orthopedic and other medical markets, has achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification for its environmental management system at their Hudson, Massachusetts facility. Plans include expansion to other Precision Coating facilities in the near future.
The ISO 14001 standard specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance, and is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
Precision Coating worked toward this certification with over two years of internal collaboration among team members. This was a cross-functional initiative involving a broad cross-section of employees. Development and rollout of the initiative involved various activities that included audits, gap analysis, project planning, training, and implementation and integration of ISO 14001 into their ISO 13485 Quality Management System.
Bill Ellerkamp, President of Precision Coating, said that “this certification reflects a lot of hard work by our employees and a tremendous commitment to sustainability. Having a robust and certified environmental management system in place supports and reinforces our conviction to implement best practices to meet or exceed the expectations of all of our stakeholders. This milestone marks the completion of one stage of a long journey on which we will continue to do the right thing always and be relentless about improvement.”
