Torrance, Calif.-based Industrial Parts Depot (IPD), which manufactures heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engine parts, announced it has received its ISO 9001:2000 certification.
Maintained by the International Organization

for Standardization, ISO 9001:2000 is an international set of quality management standards for manufacturing and service industries that requires strict compliance to effective management procedures, business operations and customer service.
"Adopting this continual improvement process is a key driver in strengthening our commitment to quality and customer focus," said Yossi Zekri, president of IPD.
While not an industry requirement, IPD pursued the ISO 9001:2000 certification to guarantee its practices meet world-class standards of quality and service. It is supported by hundreds of countries around the world.
IPD LLC has been manufacturing high-quality diesel and natural gas components since 1955. IPD is a business unit of Storm Industries Inc., a private, diversified holding company with interests in industrial and residential real estate, irrigation parts and after-market replacement parts for diesel engines.
