How ISO certification has helped Podco Australia
Podco Australia is a leading agro-industrial manufacturer and a joint-stock company that operates to the highest quality standards to win more markets, customers and loyalty. ISO certification has strengthened Podco Australia’s name among all parties in its market and with the international bodies it deals with at every stage of its work, from sourcing raw materials and legal facilitation to shipping, unloading, customs procedures and more.
ISO certification also makes certified exporters eligible for support from the Egyptian Export Development Authority and for other significant benefits that local and international bodies and organisations offer to organisations holding ISO certificates accredited by accreditation bodies such as EGAC and IAS, both signatories of the IAF multilateral recognition arrangement. This is what Podco Australia achieved through Team Quality.
