First in the instrumentation industry to be certified ISO 9001
In order to ensure that our services and products meet the requirements of our customers and to maintain and improve their quality, the SANKO Group prioritized acquisition of the ISO 9001 certification, an international quality assurance standard, in the 1990s, and has been working to strengthen quality assurance.
In 1994, SANKO Automatic Equipment (now SANKO MATERIAL SUPPLY Co.) obtained certification for the design and manufacture of measuring fittings.The following year, SANKO CONTROLS obtained certification for design, production, and maintenance/calibration of instrumentation equipment. By 1996, SANKO Co. obtained certification for all aspects of instrumentation operations. At that time, SANKO CONTROLS was the first company in Japan in the instrumentation industry to obtain the certification, which was later extended to all other group companies.
We have and will continue to pursue quality, environment, and safety to ensure that our services and products are highly exceptional for our customers.
Employees choose and tackle issues on their own
For 40 years, the SANKO Group has been conducting small group activities in which employees form cooperative teams to set and tackle their own issues. Based on our policies on quality, environment, and safety, we work on all kinds of problems related to customers, workplaces, work sites, and operations (technology) from the perspective of daily operations. Through these aspects, issues and targets are set to work on as a team. This bottom-up approach raises the level of quality, environment, and safety, and simultaneously improves individual abilities and organizational strength.
Things we connect with instrumentation for a new society.
