| The World's Second Largest Elevator
Company Achieves Another First Schindler
Announces ISO 9000 Certification

Our latest accomplishment could be the best thing that ever
happened to your business. Because it means there's one elevator company that can actually
prove it does things better.
What sets us apart is ISO 9000 Certification, the official
"seal of approval" widely accepted by the international business community and
well on its way to becoming a requirement for international trade. We're the first
elevator company in America - and the nation's first elevator company of any kind - to
receive this recognition from Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance Ltd, the world's most
experienced and respected ISO accreditor.
Created by the International Organization for
Standardization in Geneva to unify quality standards used by many different countries, the
ISO 9000 audit examines procedures used in every step of the manufacturing process, form
design to supply of replacement parts.
Because of Schindler's on-going quality improvement efforts
and our commitment to customer quality assurance, we actively sought out the opportunity
for such a review. Our successful assessment assures you of consistent quality in every
Schindler product you install. And you can count on it in the future, thanks to periodic
reaudits built into the ISO accreditation process.
Founded in Switzerland 117 years ago, Schindler is Europe's
largest elevator manufacturer. Our rich heritage has been enhanced by the 1989 acquisition
of the former Westinghouse Elevator Company, a leader in the field for 65 years. The
unmatched wealth of expertise that has resulted provides our customers with people-moving
systems that are noticeably superior in quality, efficiency and bottom-line performance.
Count on Schindler. Our elevator, escalators and moving
walks have always been built to higher standards.
And now we can prove it. |
