Thin Film Electronics ASA (“Thinfilm”) (OSE: THIN.OL; OTCQX: TFECY), a global leader in printed electronics and smart systems, is pleased to announce that the company has received “ISO 9001 Certification.” The certification is an industry standard that verifies the integrity of an organization’s Quality Management Systems (QMS) and recognizes its ability to meet customers’ quality requirements while continually improving operational processes.

Thinfilm’s certification comes after Intertek, a global inspection, product testing and certification company, and one of the world’s largest ISO 9001 registrars, completed a thorough audit of Thinfilm’s Quality Management System. The establishment of Thinfilm’s QMS made it possible to articulate the company’s vision and mission to innovate within the printed electronics industry while effectively and consistently meeting the needs and expectations of its customers and partners.
“Quality is a central component of our mission and our culture, and we are committed to the ongoing development and delivery of superior products that align with our vision of creating a truly connected world,” said Davor Sutija, Thinfilm’s chief executive officer. “The ISO 9001 Certification is a significant milestone for all of us at Thinfilm.”
