The Armored Group Receives New ISO 9001:2015 Certification

    PHOENIX, AZ, May 06, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Armored Group (TAG), a worldwide provider of armored and non-armored vehicles for military agencies, law enforcement, private business and individuals needing a high-level of personal protection, has just announced they have received the ISO 9001:2015 certification from Smithers Quality Assessments. This certification is significant as it shows that TAG has reached the benchmarks for each of the areas covered under the certification.

The newly revised ISO 9001:2015 is the world's most popular standard for quality management. To receive the certification numerous internal and external requirements must be met.

• Businesses must demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
• Businesses must enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of systems and protocols, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

The Armored Group previously held the ISO 9001:2008 certification, which is due to expire in 2018. In 2016, the TAG team started the lengthy audit process to ensure that each standard was being met. The areas that were scrutinized include: manufacturing, inventory management, purchasing, accounting, human resources, contract review and regulatory requirements.

"Having the ISO 9001:2015 certification makes TAG's vehicles very attractive to the agencies, organizations and individuals as it proves that our vehicles are manufactured with top-level procedures and systems that meet or exceed the International Standards Organizations' stringent requirements," said Robert Pazderka, founder and president of The Armored Group. "Our team has worked very hard to not only receive the certification, but continually uses best practices to maintain the highest level of quality and service."

TAG has made considerable news lately with the introduction of the BATT-APX, which is an armored vehicle designed for law enforcement agencies and the Super Duty SUV/TUV, one of the most versatile vehicles on the market with the appearance of a four or six door sport utility vehicle. In addition, in the last quarter of 2016, they formed a strategic alliance with the Paramount Group and opened a new facility in Dubai to provide a higher level of service to that part of the globe.
