When we started looking for certification assistance, we could not find anyone to help us with all the requirements. One company could help with a bolt procedure, another with a welding procedure. Finally we found Atema and they were the only company who could take us through the whole entire process. They understood all the requirements for certification and had the experience to create our system the right way.

… I want to say that I am impressed with the knowledge that both of you have, and we are very happy with this final document. This is so much more practical and understandable than our previous version. Also, I think that the management team has a much better overall understanding of what is expected from us to be AISC certified.

We contracted Atema to help us prepare a QMS for our upcoming AISC certification and they have exceeded our expectations. Our specialist went the extra mile in his research into our industries’ engineering and manufacturing standards to prepare our system and even taught us a few things about some industry changes. We are confident that with this QMS we will not only succeed in AISC certification, but we will turn out higher quality products with even fewer errors than before.
