World Quality Day 2019 – 100 Years of Quality

There is a different theme for World Quality Day each year and the theme this year is 100 years of Quality.

This year is the centenary of World Quality Day which was initiated after WW1 from a desire to improve the production of unreliable munitions.

With a passion for providing trusted, quality products and services, the original members established the Technical Inspection Association in 1919 leaving a legacy evident in the outstanding work of Quality professionals in all industries ever since.

Why Tufcot Celebrates World Quality Day

We strive to consistently work to a high standard of quality and assure our clients that we are constantly improving.

We like to think that Quality is in everything we do. Whether it’s from how we manage the company, how we interact with our customers or the material and parts we manufacture and supply worldwide.

We know there is always room for improvement so if we don’t meet expectations at any of those stages, we want to know immediately so we can address issues and adopt lessons learnt.

We are proud that our Quality Management System is certified as fully ISO 9001:2015 compliant.
