Daktronics Rigging Group Receives Certificates for ISO 9001:2008 Registration

Daktronics Inc. reports that the factory where its Vortek automated rigging products are manufactured is now certified to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management Systems standard.

Daktronics says it has steadily invested in improving its rigging factory since acquiring the business in 2006. Since that time, Daktronics has relocated the operation to a newer and larger facility, incorporated a lean management system, implemented an Enterprise Resource Planning system and developed and installed in-plant, full-load hoist testing capability. Achieving the ISO 9001:2008 certification was the next logical progression in Daktronics plan to ensure safety, quality, and reliability, the company says.

Jim Morgan, president and chief executive officer, said, "We are extremely pleased to achieve the ISO 9001:2008 registration for our rigging manufacturing facility. This is a very important step in our continuing effort to design and manufacture quality rigging products and systems for our customers. It is a testament to the quality of our rigging operation, and provides an additional level of assurance for our customers."
