CEMEX quarries achieve quality management ISO 9001 certification

CEMEX Aggregates, a business division of CEMEX UK the building materials supplier, has achieved recognition for its quality management systems with the award of BS EN ISO 9001.

The certification recognises the company’s commitment to quality management systems used in the production and supply of aggregates to its customers and to continuous improvement procedures.

For customers this measure will enhance their confidence in the high quality of CEMEX’s products and services. Lex Russell, Vice President Aggregates and Asphalts comments “This certification is very important to us and I’m sure, to our customers. They now have tangible evidence that all of our quarries supply high quality products and we endeavour to offer the highest quality service.”

Certification was awarded by CPC (Construction Products Certification), a government approved body following a series of independent audits at a number of quarries in the final quarter of 2010. Other business areas of CEMEX UK Cement, Asphalt, Readymix and Building Products, have also achieved this standard.
