Capgemini
ABS QE has been our certification partner since 2001 catering to our ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications. Since the very inception of this relationship, ABS QE has shown great interest in maintaining its relationship with us. They have taken care to ensure that the audit team maintains the continuity along with bringing in new faces for objectivity and experience sharing. They took good care to document minute details during the audit and support the audit report with relevant findings. The entire team has been very approachable and flexible in their interactions with us.
Steve Hulbert
Purchasing Department
LaGrange Products, Inc.
I must meet certain European directives in the manufacture of pressure vessels. ISO Certs are required from the mills that our steel is supplied from. ABS Certs have given me zero problems to date passing inspection. Other organization's ISO Certs have given me many headaches.
Gene Daumit, Quality Manager
BASF Corporation
ABS Quality Evaluations has been the registrar for the Performance Chemicals' ISO 9001-based Quality Management system since 1995, and it has been a very positive relationship. Three areas of their program have been particularly helpful to our business, namely: 1) audit operations, 2) customer service, and 3) the surveillance audit process.
Over the years, the audit operations group has worked with us to optimize audit duration and audit frequency. This was particularly important when some of our sites went from individual site certificates to becoming part of one overall business certificate. With the cooperation of ABS QE, we were able to cut audit duration and frequency in half. As additional changes have occurred to our business, ABS QE has worked with us so that the audit requirements remain current with the existing business operations.
The customer service personnel are very responsive to our requests. Audit scheduling is hassle free and ABS QE always accommodates any special audit requirements or requests for particular auditors. In those cases where issues do arise, a quick resolution is almost always achieved for a particular problem.
Most importantly, I believe that they audit to the "spirit of the standard" rather than just to the "letter of the standard." In short, they are genuinely interested in making sure that our quality management systems are in place and working effectively for our business. This is just as, if not more, important to them as ensuring that we meet all of the technical requirements of the standard. The net effect of this philosophy is that our employees understand if a nonconformance is identified it is important, and we need to deal with effectively and in a timely manner.
Jack McCormack, Director of Quality
Siemens Enterprise Networks Division
ABS QE has been a consistently responsive certification partner for Siemens Enterprise Networks (SEN) division for the past 10 years. One example that has been very important to us is that they honored our request to maintain continuity by keeping at least one of their people involved in our account, year over year. That has proven its worth by SEN not having to re-educate their audit team every year on our complex, multi-site quality management system and having an ABS QE representative who can act as an in-house mentor for each year's audit team. That consistent interface has also given us a knowledgeable contact to work with in planning the annual audit by ABS QE.
Stevin Kestner, Quality Director
Guide Corporation
On behalf of Guide's executive staff, Guide's five locations, Guide's management team, and all members of the Guide organization, and especially Rusty McClanahan and I want to express a sincere appreciation to all of you, and the ABS QE team, for our recent visit and discussion.
A special thanks to Mr. Marouni and Ms. Gonzalez for taking time out of their busy schedules and being such great hosts.
We found the meeting to be extremely beneficial and informative. Once again, ABS QE proves that it is a world-class organization with world-class people.
While ABS QE is a leader in certification bodies, it is also THE leader, and benchmark, in customer focus. That is readily apparent and transcends in all levels of ABS QE. Outstanding client service...absolutely outstanding!! And Guide Corporation sincerely appreciates that.
We look forward to transitioning to the new TS standard...and Guide is very proud to have ABS QE as a part of that. Thank you again very much.

Working with ABS QE has proven to be a valuable partnership. Their highly skilled, experienced auditors provide us with outstanding service and keen insight, helping us drive improvement in our daily operations. As we have expanded our management systems to include ISO/TS 16949, ISO 14001, and now OHSAS 18001, ABS QE has provided us integrated audits that both support our integrated system approach and reduce the time and costs associated with maintaining certification. Their excellent training classes have allowed us to develop and maintain systems that add value to our bottom line. It's always a pleasure doing business with ABS QE.

MIC Group
MIC Group has engaged ABS QE since 1994. ABS QE has been associated with two of MIC Group's manufacturing sites, and has proven itself as a supportive partner in our quest for excellence. We have systematically rotated through a good number of their auditors and found them all to be extremely capable. With each visit, we are always left with several good ideas for improving our quality processes. We would highly recommend ABS QE to anyone who is striving to maintain and/or further develop their quality program.
