Elite RF receives ISO 9001 2015 Certification

I am proud to announce that client Elite RF, an industry-leading RF amplifier and generator manufacturer, has received certification to ISO 9001: 2015 from certifying body IAPMO SCB. The entire management staff put in a tremendous amount of work to make this certification happen, as evidenced by receiving zero findings in their initial certification audit. A special shout out to Deep Patel, VP of Operations, for spearheading the project internally and inspiring a quality culture throughout the organization.

Ami Patel, Chief Administrative Officer & Partner, stated: “Quality is important to us, and getting ISO 9001 certified validates Elite RF’s commitment to maintain a healthy quality system and assure we meet all customer requirements. Customer satisfaction is our #1 priority as stated in our Quality Policy, and ISO will help us hold that promise to our customers. Receiving ISO certification will help our customers know they are in good hands when ordering RF amplifiers or generators from Elite RF. Also, special thanks to Steve Williams of TRAC  for his guidance through our ISO journey.”

Aurora, IL

I am proud to announce that client Aurora Circuits has upgraded their QMS from ISO 9001: 2015 and received certification to AS9100D: 2016 from certifying body SGS. Dr. Kalmus and his management team were highly engaged with the goal of driving organizational improvement during this transition. A special shout-out to Brian Zirlin, Alex Scott and Mike Szydlowski for their hard work and dedication throughout this project.

President & Founder Dr. Chris Kalmus stated:

“I am so proud of our Aurora Circuits team. This accomplishment is a true testament to all the hard work everybody has done in the past year. We had several options of which certification to pursue and decided on AS9100, as it is a true process control certification, providing us with a great operations system to guide the company towards continued success and excellence. Earning our AS9100 certification is a great way to end 2021 and, better yet, kick off 2022.”
