TÜV SÜD Product Service - the first service organisation of its kind to achieve the SC21 Bronze Award
As the first service company of its kind to become a signatory to the SC21 programme back in January 2008, TÜV SÜD Product Service’s testing and certification business has also been the first to have been awarded the SC21 Bronze status for business and operational excellence.
To gain this award TÜV SÜD Product Service was sponsored by one of its key customers, Meggitt Avionics. The two companies worked together in applying the SC21 principles to further enhance their existing business relationship.
SC21 is a change programme designed to accelerate the competitiveness of the UK aerospace & defence industries. Signatories to SC21 are committed to deliver increased value to customers and strengthen business relationships throughout the supply chain, so TÜV SÜD Product Service will now be striving to achieve the Silver and ultimately Gold awards.
The SC21 Bronze Award was presented to TÜV SÜD Product Service Ltd at the AgustaWestland Training Academy, Yeovil on 1st February 2010. On receiving the award, Jean-Louis Evans, Managing Director of TÜV SÜD Product Service, said, “It is a great honour to be first service company of its kind to be recognised by SC21. This demonstrates that the SC21 principles can be applied to any kind of company within the Aerospace and Defence Supply chains. Having provided testing and certification services to the industry for over 50 years, we are committed to achieve ever higher levels of quality and delivery to our customers”.
