US Kopp Glass Inc., based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has received ISO certification for its efforts to continually improve manufacturing quality. The glassmaker, which is the world“s leading manufacturer of precision moulded, technical glass lenses, said its quality management system has been certified as compliant with ISO 9001:2008 standards. This certification marks a significant milestone for Kopp Glass and the company“s on-going efforts in continuous improvement. Our Quality Management System will serve as the foundation that we will build on to continually improve our value proposition to customers, Hugh Reed, Kopp“s director of Technical Services said. Kopp“s custom engineered borosilicate lenses are found in products used in many different industries, such as aerospace, airports and all places where a harsh environment, such as heat, chemicals or abrasion, demands a precision crafted, durable glass lens. Becoming ISO certified was a logical step to take in Kopp“s 85-year history in order to remain the industry leader in technical glass manufacturing. Because the business environment is changing, potential customers around the world are more selective than ever as far as qualifying and selecting the types of companies that they choose to partner with. They want to conduct business with a stable, quality oriented company that focuses on continuous improvement and innovative design and development, according to Darin Bernardi, Kopp“s sales manager.
