Achieving growth through ISO
After many years of stating Cable Connections was an ISO compliant company, it became very apparent we needed to officially become certified to remain competitive in our market place or loss business. From the beginning PQA was there explaining the meaning of the standard during audits, which helped us get to the next level to make our company a better company not only for our customers but ourselves.
With our move to a much larger facility, (from 8,000 to 18,000 square feet) they again stepped up to the plate and worked with us to make the transition as smooth as possible, by carefully auditing how we were applying the ISO requirements.
Cable Connections grew threefold in five years after certification. Without the help of PQA, Cable Connections could not have met with many obstacles; they worked closely with us through all the ups and downs of a growing company. Their clear and meaningful audits helped Cable Connections attain a superior QMS system which allows us to meet the needs of our diverse customer base.

Certification supported significant growth
VCC originally engaged with PQA Certification in 2008, when it first achieved certification of both ISO 9001 and 14001. Over the next eight years VCC became a larger and more complex business, growing revenues and employee count by 8X and 12x respectively, along with setting up a manufacturing plant in another country.
During this time PQA was not just a competent and effective auditor during certifications, but also a tremendously knowledgeable resource for VCC to leverage as its core business processes, customer requirements, and supplier base evolved. Sometimes seemingly overnight.
VCC believes in the importance of its robust quality system, and it sees PQA as an integral part of the cultivation of said system. We look forward to working with PQA for years to come.

Certified 4 companies with PQA
I have personally used PQA Certification’s services to implement ISO 9001 systems for 4 different companies over the past decade. A friend recommended PQA, a company he had used, as an affordable yet down to earth source that I could trust. More than just the price, their people made the implementation process a most rewarding experience. Every time PQA helped to support me with an implementation, the company concerned realized gains from improvement efficiencies— always more than twice the first year’s cost of certification. Each company reported greater customer satisfaction and enjoyed increased market share, and we passed customer audits with a 95% - 100% scoring. PQA International has my highest recommendation.

Confidence well placed
In operating a growing technology firm, our procedures must be thorough and complete, and pass the scrutiny of our clients, many of which involve governmental, regulatory, and military standards. PQA was instrumental as we developed a system, which not only meets the ISO standard, but also addresses those requirements.
PQA provided staff training which helped us create our internal audit system and integrate the ISO standard into our daily operations. I would, with great confidence, recommend PQA to any firm considering ISO certification and training. They provided real solutions to unique situations, a practical approach, and outstanding results.

A new company’s experience
I would like to take this opportunity to thank PQA for the services provided during our recent ISO assessment/certification. The auditor training was very comprehensive and thorough. PQA did an excellent job of explaining the material in a way that was easily comprehended by everyone. The certification visit was a bit more intense but equally successful. All of our employees now have a greater appreciation for the ISO certification process, and the role it will play in the success of our company. Our management team will continue to dedicate the resources required to maintain our Approved ISO status.
