Custom prototyping and low-volume manufacturing company Proto
Labs, Inc. (NYSE: PRLB) has acquired ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO
27001 certification for its Japanese facility in Zama-shi,
Kanagawa. The recent ISO (International Organization for
Standardization) certifications further demonstrate Proto Labs’
commitment to global standardization.
“By implementing quality, environmental, and information
security management systems in accordance with the ISO criteria,
our customers can have complete confidence in Proto Labs’
processes,” said Dr. Thomas H. Pang, President, Proto Labs G.K. “We
are fully committed to addressing the needs of our customers
engaging in product design and development by continuing to improve
our services by applying these standardized management
systems.”
ISO 9001 is the quality management system (QMS)
established under a family of international standards that work to
enhance customer satisfaction by continuously improving quality of
products and services. Proto Labs will now accelerate its evolution
of its digital manufacturing technology and processes using the
management system.
ISO 14001 is the environmental management system (EMS)
that aims to comply with environmental regulations, reduce
environmental impacts, and improve environmental management based
on the concept of sustainability. The rapid manufacturing company
already complies with the RoHS Directive (restricting the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) and
regional rules and regulations and further aspires to focus on
sustainability by minimizing its material usage, recycling used
material, and implementing efficiencies throughout its
operation.
ISO 27001 is the information security management system
(ISMS) that ensures the company’s commitment to continuously
improving information security by identifying and assessing various
risks associated with the management of organization’s information.
Proto Labs has implemented rigorous security measures to manage
both internal information and confidential information gathered
from suppliers, customers, and clients.
Proto Labs opened its manufacturing facility in Japan in 2009
and has been steadily building its presence there, highlighted by
the expansion of its new facility in 2016. By securing ISO
certification, Proto Labs has the standardization in place to help
them continue growing within the Japanese market and as part of the
global digital manufacturing company.
