FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ShopJimmy Achieves ISO 9001 and 14001 Certifications in US, Prepares for ISO Certification of UK Operations
BLOOMINGTON, MN – December 14, 2010 – ShopJimmy, a leader in TV replacement parts, has achieved the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 certifications for its effective business processes and environmental standards at its US headquarters in Minnesota.
ISO certification, which evaluates an organization’s quality management system according to demanding standards upheld by the world’s most respected companies, measures organizational management, operational controls, and internal documentation and processes. Both ISO certifications assert ShopJimmy’s pursuit of efficiency and excellence in TV parts distribution, while also reaffirming the company’s environmental initiatives.
“ShopJimmy’s first priority has always been the satisfaction of our customers; it is because of this that we are so excited about achieving ISO certifications for both ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001 standards,” said Tim Hamer, the management representative for ShopJimmy’s ISO certification. “We view these certifications not as a final destination, but rather a checkpoint in our ongoing commitment to provide the highest quality parts and service.”
Another major goal at ShopJimmy has always been the elimination of careless e-waste. Through an innovative teardown process, developed by ShopJimmy CEO Jimmy Vosika, the company recycles nearly 100% of every TV harvested. Combined, ShopJimmy US and UK recycle over 150,000 pounds of e-waste every month.
“Obtaining certification for the ISO 14001 environmental standard is a testament to our commitment to doing our part to protect the environment. We are continuously focused on the prevention and reduction of pollution and consider the potential impacts on the environment in all of our core processes,” said Hamer.
ShopJimmy UK, which provides TV spare parts internationally, is also pursuing ISO certification for both the 9001:2008 and 14001:2004 standards. ShopJimmy UK launched this past October and is already successfully meeting the growing, international demand for TV spare parts.
