Because of this, as a company, we continually challenge our quality processes to meet internationally accredited standards. Our latest achievement is a testimony to this. We are proud to become the first PVC (pipes and fittings) manufacturer in Sri Lanka to achieve ISO 9001:2015 standards. We believe that this accreditation will help us further to deliver the highest standards of products, while putting our customers first and working more efficiently.”
Arpico PVC Senior Business Development Manager Gayan Wickramaarachchi expressed that: “The ISO 9001:2015 standard sets out criteria for a company’s production process and is based on quality management principles. As such, receiving the certificate affirms that Arpico PVC has been recognized for its observance of strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach, investment in high end technology and skilled labour and continuous focus on improvement. Going forward, the company plans on expanding their businesses both locally and internationally with the factories manufacturing Arpico water tanks and Arpico mattress also already ISO 9001 certified to meet international standards.”
