The Emco Wheaton Division is pleased to announce that it has gained further ISO certification at two of its locations.
Emco Wheaton Corp. located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada has achieved ISO 9001:2008 certification.
The implementation of the ISO quality system formalizes the outstanding quality system that has been in place for over 15 years at the Canadian facility.
ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised standard for the quality management system of businesses.
ISO 9001 certification:
- applies to the processes that create and control the products and services an organisation supplies
- prescribes systematic control of activities to ensure that the needs and expectations of customers are met
- is designed and intended to apply to virtually any product or service, made by any process anywhere in the world

They also serve the Canadian market for sales and marketing of loading arms and associated equipment, tank truck equipment and the Todo range of Dry-Break couplers and adapters.
Emco Wheaton UK located in Margate, England, has qualified for certification to ISO 14001:2004
Emco Wheaton UK reached this achievement through dedicated work during 2010. A small team lead the work but certification would not have been possible without the entire workforce being involved in the process and embracing ISO 14001 as a way of working.
The certificate was issued early January 2011.
ISO 14001 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system. Fulfilling these requirements demands objective evidence which can be audited to demonstrate that the company's environmental management system is operating effectively in conformity to the standard & regulatory requirements
ISO 14001 is a tool that can be used to meet internal and external objectives by: -
Providing assurance to management that it is in control of the organizational processes and activities which have an impact on the environment.
- Assuring employees that they are working for an environmentally responsible organization. Providing assurance on environmental issues to external stakeholders – such as customers, the community and regulatory agencies.
- Complying with environmental regulations.
- Supporting the organization's claims and communication about its own environmental policies, plans and actions.
Emco Wheaton UK designs and manufactures a range of tank truck equipment and integrated systems.
These certificates prove that the Emco Wheaton Division not only takes pride in our products and operations but also supports the idea of caring for our environment.
