Doug Lingsch, Owner, MDL Manufacturing
Bedford County, PA, manufacturer MDL Manufacturing has achieved certification in ISO 14001, meeting exacting standards of excellence in environmental management, according to President and CEO Doug Lingsch.
While MDL Manufacturing has met ISO 9001 quality certification standards, the 14001 certification demonstrates the company's dedication to its mission of a limited footprint on the environment. ?We are aiming for zero waste to the landfill," said Lingsch.
The effort to meet the goals of the certification included an eight-month long process that meant organization-wide training. "To meet the standards, we are reconfiguring what we do internally," Lingsch stated. "We also hired a consultant to help in writing the standards that helped us meet the ISO 14001 requirements.?
?There are advantages to manufacturers that are ISO 14001 certified,? continued Lingsch. "First, we are stating to our customers that we want to do the right thing for the environment. In addition, many European companies are moving toward the ISO 14001 certification and will not use a company as a supplier unless they are ISO 14001 certified.?
Bo Pratt, Chair of the Board of the Bedford County Development Association, congratulated MDL on its new certification. "MDL is leading the way in protecting the environment," Pratt said. "This is excellent corporate leadership, demonstrating that MDL is a responsible corporate citizen in Bedford County. I fully expect other Bedford County companies to learn from the MDL efforts."
MDL Manufacturing offers precision manufacturing services and has advanced technologies to research, engineer and manufacture quality components for industries that include energy, oil/gas, defense and commercial.
