As the project leader on this certification, Simon Molefe  - Business Unit Manager was heavily involved in the process and oversaw the audit. “ One of the key elements in an ISO Audit is that your team needs to know what they are doing and what their role is within the larger mechanics that make up a manufacturing facility and the team really made us proud.” he claims.

“Achieving the certification means that we had to show our professionalism, expertise and processes were all in place and effective across all the different principles of a good quality management system.

This allows for our customers to be confident in the customer service, local and international technical support and the quality they are getting when using any of the MAPEI products or systems.” concludes Simon.
