Celebrating ISO accreditation

Konecranes UK says that this reaffirms that it remains on target to deliver its two-year corporate objective of securing blanket ISO accreditation across each sector of its business ahead of the year end – industrial crane manufacturing, service and crane maintenance, machine tools and parts.
 
As Paul Nagy, Konecranes’ director head of parts, said: "Each and every member of the UK parts team is delighted to share in what is an unprecedented and fantastic achievement within Konecranes globally. It is testimony to the hard work, effort and endeavour that everyone has shown when it comes to the three core areas of health and safety, quality and environmental. What’s more, it demonstrates to our constantly expanding customer base that our parts are supplied in a controlled manner and via a robust and proven systems infrastructure. It also emphasises the importance that Konecranes UK places on securing internationally recognised quality accreditation marks at all levels. This will now hopefully give them continued confidence to partner with Konecranes across all aspects of the cranes and lifting equipment supply chain.”    
 
Based at Konecranes' UK head office in Castle Donington, the UK parts operation accommodates some 5000 individual and immediately available items that translates into a parts stock inventory of more than £1million. The Konecranes UK parts operation is coordinated by a 23-strong team that helps support a 24-hour emergency call out service that Konecranes operates.
