METROLOGY

Evolving Everything. Including Ourselves.

Globally relevant innovation is a key area of focus for EVCO. To ensure that every step we take is a step forward, we based our Quality Management System (QMS) on stringent International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines. Blending our deep manufacturing knowledge and experience with independent experts from around the globe ensures the strongest foundation for the future, for our clients and ourselves.

To provide quality plastic injection molding products consistently and cost effectively, every employee at EVCO Plastics plays a key role. This quality system is successful because each team member follows controlled procedures, work instructions, visual standards and quality plans to produce plastic injection molded parts that will meet or exceed the expectations of the customer.

EVCO Plastics’ global locations are certified to a wide range of standards, which include, but are not limited to; ISO 9001, ISO 13485, TS 16949 and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). EVCO Plastics offers quality plastic injection molding products and assemblies that are registered with the FDA. EVCO Plastics will ensure complete traceability of our products including raw materials and components, production and assembly line clearance, product recall systems and food grade production systems that meet the HACCP guidelines.

The TS 16949 and ISO 9001 certification programs have a high set of quality management system standards and requirements.
