First Mask Distributor to Achieve Designation Reinforces Company's Commitment to Quality Management Standards
MOUNT VERNON, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 16, 2024 / Bona Fide Masks Corp. (www.bonafidemasks.com), part of the Ball Chain Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Ball Chain) family of companies out of Mount Vernon, New York, is proud to announce that it has renewed its ISO 9001:2015 certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an organization which has established a coordinated system of quality management standards.
After a rigorous evaluation process, Bona Fide Masks® was the first mask distributor to earn this industry distinction in October of 2022. Bona Fide Masks® is also proudly the exclusive U.S. distributor for Powecom® KN95 masks. With millions of Powecom KN95 masks in stock and ready to ship, the company uses its in-house Air Techniques International (ATI) 100X Automated Filter Tester for quality control validation of filter media. This additional quality control measure has helped distinguish Bona Fide Masks from the field and positioned it well for recertification with ISO.
The ISO vetting process includes all aspects of the company's business, including purchasing, supply chain integrity, logistics, delivery, infrastructure, testing, human resources, finance, and accounting. With its recertification, Bona Fide Masks has underscored its unwavering commitment to its customers and its business partners, meeting and exceeding high-level international standards. The company remains committed to delivering premier products, using safe and sustainable processes. Operating under the ISO 9001:2015 standard helps ensure that Bona Fide Masks' customers receive authentic, high-quality products that meet or exceed strict standards.
Bona Fide Masks worked closely with the ISO auditors during their thorough evaluation process, which resulted in the recertification. "Renewing our ISO certification is an important milestone for our family-owned and operated company. Our transparent, perpetual vetting model is unique in the mask industry. Customers know that they can trust us, and we will always conduct our business ethically. ISO recertification builds on our promises as we continue to raise standards and expectations for our industry," explains Bill Taubner, President.
Bona Fide Masks is honored to be a part of the one million+ companies and organizations, in over 170 countries, with ISO certification.
