Case Study: SICcast achieves early ISO 9001:2015 certification and global competitive advantage with LRQA

SICcast becomes Germany’s first ISO 9001:2015 certified firm with LRQA

SICcast, a German engineering firm that constructs and coats parts for demanding industrial applications, faced the challenge of ensuring consistent quality across its expanding global franchise operations. To win new business and strengthen its reputation, SICcast needed to transition its Quality Management System from ISO 9001:2000 to the newly revised ISO 9001:2015 standard. The company enlisted the help of vendor LRQA for its professional assurance services.

LRQA supported SICcast's transition through awareness briefings, gap assessments, and employee training, with a key focus on implementing a risk-based approach. This process resulted in SICcast becoming the first organization in Germany to be certified to ISO 9001:2015. The certification, performed by LRQA, is already delivering a measurable impact by generating new client enquiries and providing the company with a significant competitive advantage.
