Faucet manufacturer Chicago Faucets announced that its management systems
have achieved ISO 9001:2008/ISO 14001:2004 certification of its U.S.

“This
certification, a standard that is recognized and respected worldwide, not only
reaffirms our ongoing commitment to quality, it also assures and communicates
to our customers that they are working with an organization that prides itself
in incorporating the very highest quality processes and practices in the
industry," saidJohn Joyce, director of business excellence
for Chicago Faucets. "Meeting the rigorous ISO requirements validates our
unwavering commitment to deliver the highest quality service and satisfaction
that our customers have come to expect.”
Complementing
the company’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility, Chicago

affecting climate change, and to segregate different wastes to maximize
recycling and minimize landfill. “Our employees are committed to continue
achieving excellence in our management processes and meeting or exceeding
environmental expectations,” commented Joyce.
