Pathwy Polymers, a global technology leader in the tire flatproofing industry and the original inventor & manufacturer of TyrFil brand flatproofing materials, last week announced that it has been issued a certificate of registration by Perry Johnson Registrars for conformance to the ISO 9001:2008 international standard.

“The ISO certification is a recognition of the hard work and the commitment to excellence demonstrated by all employees at all levels throughout our organization,” said Joseph Danules, president and CEO of Pathway Polymers. “We take pride in being a leader within our industry and being the first flatproofing firm to be awarded with the ISO 9001:2008 certification is an honor that we know our customers will appreciate.”

Recognized globally as a hallmark of total quality management, the certificate acknowledges Pathway Polymers as a company with a consistently applied system of quality standards and procedures. Having achieved the initial certification, Pathway Polymers will be required to participate in regular surveillance audits from the registrar every year in order to maintain the chemical manufacturer’s ISO certification.

Perry Johnson Registrars is an independent registrar accredited by ANAB, RvA, UKAS, INMETRO, and SINCERT to register clients to ISO 9001:2008.
