WorkflowOne Charlotte Facility Earns ISO Cert

Press release from the issuing company

Dayton, Ohio, January 28, 2008 - WorkflowOne, one of North America's leading providers of print, promotional products and supply chain services, today announced that its Charlotte, N.C., plant has become the company's second manufacturing facility to earn both the ISO 9001:2000 and ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management process certifications. Issued by the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), the certifications are based on independent audits conducted in 2007 that resulted in very high scores for the Charlotte facility.

The Charlotte plant produces a wide range of printed products, including short-run digital to long-run jumbo rolls, a full complement of pressure sensitive labels, continuous and cut-sheet forms as well as offset sheetfed printing. Labels produced in Charlotte are widely used in automotive subassemblies, such as airbag systems. The facility employs 120 people and has 200,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space.

"These certifications are proof of WorkflowOne's commitment to maintaining the quality of all documentation and components that impact a customer's brand," said John Hartwell, vice president of operations. "Having Charlotte pass the ISO/TS audit with high scores not only validates our own quality control efforts, but gives us a competitive edge in markets that require the highest standards."

WorkflowOne's Charlotte team, along with corporate engineering support, has been developing its quality management process to meet the high standards of ISO and IATF throughout the 2007 calendar year. The company's Goshen, Ind., facility was the first WorkflowOne plant to earn both ISO 9001:2000 and ISO/TS 16949:2002 certifications in January 2007.
