Local stamping company accredited

SPRINGFIELD — The OSMI facility of the McGregor Metalworking Companies was recently audited for and passed its ISO 9001:2008 recertification.

During their three-day engagement, Intertek auditor staff reviewed the documents, processes and procedures of the OSMI business and found no nonconformances.

By exceeding the ISO audit standard OSMI marked its sixth consecutive audit with zero nonconformances.

“OSMI was initially certified under QS9000 in 1996 and made the transition to ISO9001:2000 in August of 2005. We continued our development by transitioning to the ISO9001:2008 standard in early 2010,” said Jeff Powell, general manager of OSMI.

Under ISO, a company is audited annually in a “surveillance” mode and every third year the company must pass a recertification audit. During each audit the company’s operating processes are verified for conformity with its stated procedures.

OSMI is a large-part metal stamping facility that specializes in medium to high-volume contract stamping and toll processing of a variety of metals.
