Mit Cargo gets ISO 9001:2000 - December 20, 2008
MIT Cargo, the Hayleys Group's international freight management specialist, has achieved an operational milestone with its quality management system being certified compliant with ISO 9001:2000.
The certification by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance Limited covers the provision of Freight Forwarding Services including Ocean and Air Freight, International Express and associated Logistics Services and harmonises many disciplines within the company.
Speaking at the formal presentation of the certification to MIT Cargo, Hayleys PLC Deputy Chairman Mohan Pandithage said conforming to a stringent international quality management system like ISO 9001 is difficult in a fast-paced and mercurial business like freight forwarding. "We are proud of this important achievement by MIT Cargo," Mr. Pandithage said.
As part of the process, MIT Cargo has trained 12 of its staff as Internal Auditors who will conduct periodic in-house audits to monitor compliance with the requirements of the ISO 9001 Quality Management System.
A leader in the local freight management industry for more than two decades, MIT Cargo provides domestic and global logistical solutions to the import and export trade. The company is accredited by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA). MIT Cargo is partnered globally by Panalpina World Transport, an integrated door-to-door forwarding solutions provider who operates a global network of 554 branches in 88 countries.
As a Hayleys Advantis company, MIT Cargo and its clients also have access to expertise and synergies within the group in several key areas including International Freight, Third Party Logistics, Shipping and Marine Services, Warehousing and Transit Facilities, Haulage, Aviation and Travel Services.
