Printing blanket production at ContiTech's Northeim plant in Germany and the market segment's management system have gained ISO 9001 quality management certification from TÜV Nord.

The process involved two days at the plant inspecting, among other things, sequences in the sheet material area, the formatting centre and the metal printing blanket department as well as the management processes.

Head of the printing blanket segment Thomas Perkovic is delighted with the results: "We were able to show ourselves as even much more effective and efficient than in the preliminary audit in January, which itself went very well,” he says. We shall improve even further so as to always be capable of supplying our customers with high-quality products."

The certificate is valid for three years but is reviewed by TÜV annually.
