Moulding a Successful Business with ISO 9001:2000

 

Located in Cape Town, Ivy Blue specialises in the rotational moulding of high quality polymer products for both custom and proprietary applications. Its proprietary products are focused in the fishing, aquaculture, retail display, urban rainwater tank and wine industries.

Ivy Blue possesses the technological expertise to design, engineer and produce rotationally moulded parts of a high quality standard. The company's client base includes giants such as Shell, Coca Cola, Sasol, Dairy Maid, Woolworths, I&J, Caltex, Pepsi, MAN, KWV, SAB, Rentokil, Sea Harvest, BP, SA Navy, Clover and Anglo American.

Their objective is to offer first class service, quality and technological expertise to develop cost-effective products. In order to achieve this, they develop long-term relationships with customers, suppliers and experts within the industry.

They are proactive members of local and international rotational moulding organisations and their focus on quality earned them the Product of the Year award at the 2006 annual meeting. One of their key focus points is cultivating their staff as the core of the business, resulting in a growth rate that has exceeded 20% for the past eight years.

As part of their focus on excellence, Ivy Blue became ISO 9001:2000 certified in April 2006. They implemented ISO 9001:2000 to improve their systems from design through to sales and to reduce their inefficiencies. They have experienced an improved stature within the Rotational Moulding community and have landed numerous large contracts as a result of their ISO 9001:2000 certification.

With the help of IMSM, they have been able to implement a tailor made quality management structure without impeding on the natural flexibility required for their business, or bogging them down with paper work. Ivy Blue Rotational Moulders highly recommends IMSM to other companies seeking ISO certification with the minimum of fuss.
