Markforged Billerica manufacturing facility achieves ISO 9001:2015 certification

Markforged (Watertown, Mass., U.S.) announces that its materials manufacturing facility located in Billerica, Mass., U.S. is ISO 9001:2015 certified with TUV Rheinland of North America (Littleton) after meeting rigorous quality management and quality assurance standards. This achievement underscores Markforged’s commitment to continuous improvement, reliability and the success of its customers.

The certification further cements Markforged’s credibility and trust as a premier additive manufacturing (AM) partner by streamlining the supplier audit process. According to the company, achieving this certification unlocks more business-critical and production applications for Markforged, as many regulated industries, such as aerospace, require vendors to abide by the processes and controls reflected within ISO 9001:2015. This recent certification, along with the company’s existing ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification for information security management, highlights Markforged’s ability to support enterprises of all sizes.

“Achieving this latest certification is a true reflection of the manufacturing culture that has been nurtured at our Billerica facility and the overall commitment to quality and reliability that runs deep in our company’s DNA,” Scott Kaempfe, Markforged’s senior director, manufacturing, says. “We are committed to building a world-class, scalable production facility that will deliver high-value and reliable performance for our customers now and in the future.”

ISO 9001:2015 is a quality management systems (QMS) standard published in September 2015 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standard ensures an organization demonstrates its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet and enhance customer satisfaction and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
