Anixter Fasteners announced that its 30,000 sq ft facility in Suzhou, China, now meets two important quality standards.
Anixter Suzhou, which serves as the company’s Fastener Asia Pacific divisional headquarters, has been granted the ISO 9001:2008 and VDA 6.2 certificates. These approvals assure Anixter Fasteners’ customers that the company has implemented business systems that will deliver the highest levels of quality to achieve zero-defect performance.

“The twin certifications assure Anixter’s customers, suppliers and employees that they are working in partnership with a globally integrated organization whose systems are measured against an internationally recognized benchmark and where an accredited third party conducts regular audits to ensure these standards are maintained,” the company stated.
