--Image: Intertek ISO 9001:2008 logo -- GAITHERSBURG, MD: ISO-certified since 1996, Patton—the leader in business and carrier-class VoIP, network access, connectivity, and video surveillance equipment—announced today the company has achieved certification to the latest International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standard for quality management systems.

Patton earned a perfect score, passing the audit with zero non-conformities.

Accredited by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), Intertek Group plc conducted the audit and registered Patton’s quality management system as fully compliant with the ISO 9001:2008 standard.

“It’s a high bar,” said Robert R. (“Bobby”) Patton, President of Patton Electronics, “but we cleared it. We’re pleased--but not content--with our track record. This is not a sprint for us. Patton is committed to building value for future generations. Quality management with continuous measurable improvement is essential to our plans for long-term growth.”

Incorporated in 1984 as a family-owned business, Patton has been manufacturing electronic communications hardware for over twenty-six years.

Made in the USA at Patton’s Maryland headquarters, Patton’s high-quality, low-cost network equipment blends innovative engineering with cost-reduced product design and high-quality American manufacturing.

“Disciplined business processes drive Patton’s high-quality products and services,” said Steve Schrader, Patton’s VP of Manufacturing.”Persistent commitment to process improvement eliminates waste, reduces lead times, and lowers production costs. That translates into faster-better-cheaper products and services for all our stakeholders.”

ISO 9001:2008 registration verifies that Patton’s policies, practices, and procedures demonstrate a commitment to quality management that ensures market innovation with on-time delivery of consistent, high-quality products and services.

In another recent achievement, Patton’s flagship product line, SmartNode™ VoIP solutions, scored its eighth major award in a five-year winning streak from TMCs Internet Telephony Magazine.

Beyond such formal awards, SmartNode™ was recently voted the “most recommended” SIP PSTN gateway in an online community survey of Windows phone system administrators.

Bobby Patton summarizes, “At the end of the day, quality-managed processes produce happy customers and loyal business partners year after year.”

Patton products will showcase during the upcoming ABP IPSizzles conference with hands-on workshops for registered resellers. Beginning in Santo Domingo (5 May), the tour covers eight US cities before reaching Lima in September.
