Multi-faceted cooperation to achieve common goals
Our shared story began in 1998, when we authorized SIQ to test a three-phase induction meter. Since then, we have forged a strong and long-term partnership, reflected in over 300 test reports and certificates issued. In addition, SIQ has been certifying our management systems for 18 years, ensuring compliance with international standards. To date, we have received eight certificates, the most recent in the field of information security this year. However, cooperation with SIQ goes beyond testing and certification. Our employees have been participating in training courses offered by SIQ for over 25 years, enabling them to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in the industry.
As Gregor Schoss, director of SIQ, emphasized, the cooperation with Iskraemeco represents “an example of one of the longest-lasting and most comprehensive cooperations with the local economy. We cooperate in practically all our activities, from calibrations to training. Our partnership is a path of strong partnership, continuous development and exceptional achievements.”
Benefits of cooperation for Iskraemeco
Cooperation with SIQ provides Iskraemeco with numerous advantages that are critical to achieving business success in both domestic and foreign markets. “SIQ is an invaluable partner for Iskraemeco, helping it achieve business success through its services. The comprehensive range of services, proximity and local presence, the possibility of performing services abroad, the quality of the audits themselves, and responsiveness are just some of the key advantages of SIQ that enable Iskraemeco to ensure the high quality of its products and processes in the long term and strengthen its reputation on the global market,” says Maks Prokop, Global Legal and Compliance Director and Executive Board Member.
These benefits are evident in various areas:
- Sales support: Issuing SIQ certificates strengthens Iskraemeco’s credibility and facilitates access to new customers. Potential customers recognize Iskraemeco as a company that meets the highest quality and safety standards, which gives them confidence in our products and services. This allows us to do business more easily and expand our market share.
- Staying up-to-date with the latest developments: SIQ regularly keeps us informed about new legislative requirements and standards that apply in our field of operation. This allows us to always be up-to-date and to ensure that our products and processes always comply with the latest regulations. This is essential for ensuring compliance and preventing potential problems with regulators.
- Process improvement: Regular SIQ audits allow us to continuously monitor the effectiveness of our processes and identify opportunities for improvement. SIQ auditors can help us optimize our processes and increase their efficiency with their expert advice. This is reflected in lower costs, shorter lead times and higher product quality.
- Access to knowledge: SIQ auditors are experienced professionals with extensive knowledge and experience in the field of quality and safety. They share this knowledge with us during audits and training courses, which allows us to continuously educate ourselves and update our knowledge. This is essential for maintaining our competitiveness globally.
- Effective communication: The possibility of personal meetings with SIQ experts facilitates communication, information exchange and problem solving. We can consult with them on all questions related to the quality and safety of our products. This allows us to quickly and effectively resolve any problems that may arise and prevent major problems from arising.
In addition to the mentioned advantages, the proximity of SIQ is also extremely important for Iskraemeco, which means easy access and the possibility of flexible and effective cooperation. This is reflected in the easy delivery of samples, quick live meetings, close cooperation in testing, efficient test infrastructure and fast certificate issuance.
