CMI Awarded ISO 9001:2000 Certification
Company’s Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction Validated by Registration
NEENAH, WI – February 13, 2006 – Custom Marine, Incorporated (CMI) is proud to announce it received registration to the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000 certification on December 30, 2005. The registration supports the scope of supply for the design and manufacture of high-performance marine exhaust and accessories, small engine mufflers and precision machining. ISO 9001:2000 is a comprehensive internationally-recognized standard that ensures an organization has the systems and processes in place to consistently manufacture products of high quality that meet customers’ high standards for quality and performance, while improving customer satisfaction.
"Achieving ISO 9001:2000 certification demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high standards of quality to enable us to compete on a global scale,” said Joe Zelinski, president of CMI. “This certification is a significant step toward assuring our customers that we are applying the highest standards in order to deliver the superior products and services they expect from an industry leader.”
CMI achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification by completing a rigorous registration audit conducted by Perry Johnson Registrars, Incorporated (PJR), an independent auditor that is one of the largest ISO 9001:2000 registrars in North America. To qualify for certification, CMI underwent a six-month process of auditing and assessing the company’s quality assurance systems against requirements for ISO certification. During this process, CMI was required to demonstrate its use of well- documented and disciplined controls throughout manufacturing processes that ensure consistent product quality. Following this verification process, CMI was awarded its ISO 9001:2000 certificate of registration.

To ensure that CMI maintains compliance with the ISO 9001:2000 quality management standards, PJR will perform semi-annual audits and will require re-registration once every three years.
