At MWT, we have always set our standards very high. Which is why we have now set ourselves a new target- that of achieving the prestigious ISO 9001:2008 certification. In layman’s terms, this translates to our group of institutions joining the highest echelons of quality business organizations worldwide, with our management systems meeting top-notch statutory requirements that have to mandatorily be fulfilled to gain the certification.
As a first step towards the Implementation of ISO 9001 version 2008 Certification for our organization there is to be an awareness program for the entire staff of MWT Group to be held on Friday, June 8th 2012, at our Kadavanthra, Kochi office.
We are only a small step away from being part of this prestigious certification program.
Hand in hand, we will work towards an inspirational future!
