ISO 14001 for WHT's
ISO 14001 for WHT's
Wallwork Heat Treatment (WHT) at Bury has received full registration to the International Environmental Standard ISO 14001. This applies to all the thermal processing, heat treatment and foundry operations at the three sites in Bury, Greater Manchester, UK.
The new ISO 14001 registration is a significant addition to Wallwork Heat Treatment's other standards, which include ISO 9001:2000 and BSEN ISO 9100, reflecting WHT's commitment to the high quality area of manufacturing. Last year Wallwork also joined the select few UK businesses that are accredited to NADCAP, which is the quality approval method required by many international aerospace businesses, including Boeing, Rolls Royce and BAE Systems.
“This is a significant milestone for us,” said WHT director Peter Carpenter. “Over the last decade we have steadily moved to vacuum heat treatment and other high-tech coating and heat treatment processes that both reduce our energy requirements and give us greater control over the processes. The ISO 14001 registration confirms our continuing moves towards cleaner technology in line with customer requirements in the aerospace industry.”
