Innovative Micro Technology (IMT), the world leader
in contract manufacturing for MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems),
announced today that it has received ISO 9001:2000 certification
from Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The formal certification reflects
IMT's commitment to continuous process improvement and delivering
the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction.
"Since our beginnings, IMT has been using a rigorous quality
management system to manufacture and deliver quality products that
meet our customers' requirements and expectations," said Dr.
John Foster, CEO of IMT. "Our ISO certification validates our
quality systems as we bring more of our customers' products into
production."
"IMT manufactures dozens of different MEMS
products at various stages of maturity: everything from new product
development to high-volume production. The challenge for a company
as diversified as IMT is to ensure quality, consistency, and predictability
of output across all product lines. The discipline of ISO 9001 manufacturing
control is essential to our continued success," said Doug Thompson,
VP of Quality and Product Engineering.
