Pittsburgh, PA, July 17, 2008 — Chromalox, a leading manufacturer of electric heat and control products, has been awarded the ISO 9001:2000 certification for its Ogden, UT manufacturing facility. ISO 9001:2000 is an internationally recognized quality management system standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

“Quality is one of the pillars on which our business has been built,” said Scott Dysert, CEO of Chromalox. “We are very pleased to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification for this facility and will continue to invest in initiatives that provide our customers with the confidence that they will receive consistently high quality from every Chromalox product and every interaction with our associates.“

ISO 9001:2000 applies to organizations involved in the design and development, manufacturing, installation, and servicing of products. To be certified to the standard, companies must implement a comprehensive quality management system that addresses all areas of operation. The Chromalox plant in Ogden is a 189,000 sq ft facility that manufactures heat transfer and vaporization systems, large tank heating, component heaters, process air and radiant heaters, comfort air and radiant heaters, immersion heaters, circulation heaters, sensors and mounted heat and control systems.

”This is just one component of our overall quality program,” said Everick Spence, Director of Quality and Operational Excellence at Chromalox. “The 9001:2000 Certification is a testament to the excellent work of our quality team and validates that we have taken a systematic and comprehensive approach to quality.”

As part of its quality program, Chromalox has aggressively pursued product certification and has achieved more third-party approvals than any other manufacturer in the industry. Most recently, the company was awarded the KOSHA (Korean Occupational Safety and Health Administration) certificate for Heating Cables and Accessories, and the CQST (China National Quality Supervision and Test Center for Explosion Protected Electrical Products) Certification for heating cables suitable for Applications of Division 1 and Division 2 Hazardous Locations.
