Quality Manufacturing

Background

ISO QS Certified
ISO Certificate
As the needs for higher quality products increased in manufacturing during the last decade, ISO 9002 became a standard for measuring consistent quality and manufacturing performance. It became a critical need in a variety of markets with technological advances in the engine market.

Most recently, UGA has become certified to the new ISO/TS16949 standard which replaces the QS 9000 standard. The certifications cover UGA's manufacturing systems as well as their heat treating processes.
