This achievement comes at an important time, following the opening of SFT’s new manufacturing facility in the country dedicated to foam fenders and steel works.
It demonstrates the company’s sustained efforts to uphold international standards.
ISO 9001 sets requirements for quality management systems, ensuring consistent delivery of products that meet customer and regulatory requirements. ISO 14001 provides a framework for effective environmental management, emphasizing sustainability and resource efficiency.
The process involved a thorough review and documentation of key operations, including engineering, manufacturing, sales workflows, and environmental management practices. An independent audit confirmed that the company had successfully standardized procedures and implemented systematic controls, ensuring consistency in quality while adhering to environmental management requirements, despite the highly customized nature of SFT’s fender systems.
“With these ISO certifications, our clients can trust that SFT’s processes deliver consistent quality, support effective risk management, provide confidence in supplier selection, and maintain compliance with environmental and regulatory standards,” said Dominique Polte, Board Member at ShibataFenderTeam. “I would like to thank all involved in the audit and preparation; their dedication has strengthened SFT’s reputation as a trusted and preferred partner in the marine industry.”
In a sector where certifications are still uncommon, SFT’s ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 demonstrate a systematic approach to operations and environmental responsibility, providing clients with reassurance when managing complex engineering and production projects.
