LONG BRANCH, NJ – Recycled rubber provider
Monmouth Rubber & Plastics Corp. has been re-certified to ISO
9001:2008 standards.
"This is particularly gratifying because the
certification is provided by SGS, one of the premier ISO houses
worldwide," company President and COO John M. Bonforte Jr. said.
"There are no shortcuts in ISO. It provides a universal language
of quality and dependability. Customers know that a company
dedicated to ISO adheres to procedures, processes and attention
to detail that are highly repeatable."
The re- Certification is equally exciting, Bonforte said,
because it serves as a prelude to a major expansion at Monmouth,
which manufactures and distributes a wide range of closed cell
sponge rubber and plastic foam, in addition to its Bondaflex
recycled rubber products.
A complete announcement of the expansion is expected this fall,
Bonforte said.
Company founder John M. Bonforte Sr. said his
original decision to seek ISO certification diverged from the
motivation often cited by other manufacturers. While many
companies pursue ISO as a path to gain business from auto
makers, Monmouth sought a different benefit.
"In a small company, where you feel like one big family, it’s
sometimes hard for the owner to instill, inflict, enforce the
necessary discipline," Bonforte Sr. explained. "But ISO provides
an independent opinion as to what a company’s internal
discipline should be.
"When you adhere to ISO standards, everybody works from the same
sheet of music, supplied by a third party that speaks with
authority and without bias," he said.
"ISO certification has changed the whole character of our
business," Bonforte Jr. said. In fact, Monmouth has become so
committed to the international standards that it invites an
independent ISO auditor, Rick Casswell, to visit the company
each month and provide feedback on Monmouth’s success at
adhering to the standards.
