Sellstrom Manufacturing Company has been a leader in protecting the world's workforce since 1923. Maintaining that leadership position necessarily entails continuous attention to improving processes in all areas of the company. Sellstrom developed a quality management system, to ensure that manufacturing procedures and product quality were constantly advancing. Meeting the requirements for ISO 9001:2000 certification - which Sellstrom achieved as a continuation of ISO 9002:1994 in 1994 - was largely a matter of training employees in ISO procedures and modifying the existing system to conform to the most current ISO standards.
