IMSM - British standards experience in demand from USA plastics industry

"Our unique standards experience with the plastics industry is now being applied throughout the USA and we are delighted to have jointed the American Society for the Plastics Industry - SPI - as part of our commitment to this important market," announced IMSM CEO, Michael Bright, today at the IMSM Offices in New York.

The decision to join the US plastics industry trade body was made during the recent NPE 2003; the world's plastic showcase exhibition and conference, held in Chicago. This event generated positive business interest for IMSM and its tailored approach to quality management and environmental standards for the plastics industry.

"We have been operating in the US since 1995 and have developed a network of representatives with extensive plastics industry experience. We have focused on ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 for the plastics industry for many years and, as our home business is based in the UK, we are established members of the British Plastics Federation and their Business Support Network, set-up to help members' select recommended suppliers of services and products.

As our consultancy business has grown we have found that this experience is welcomed and equally applicable for producers and manufacturers, both large and small, located around the world.

Joining the SPI demonstrates our commitment to supporting companies in the important US plastics sector to achieve ISO 9000 and ISO 14000. We are building on this foundation and are making the most of the opportunities that we have found," explains IMSM CEO Michael Bright.
