ST. PAUL, MN, October 14, 2005
Min Aik & Ergotron Technology Co. Ltd. announces its achievement of ISO 9001:2000 certification in its new Guangdong, China manufacturing facility. Also known as M & E Technology Ltd., this facility is dedicated solely to the world-class manufacturing and distribution of Ergotron CF™ products and branded products for Ergotron’s OEM customers.
M & E Technology is a joint venture between Ergotron, Inc., of St. Paul, MN, and Min Aik Technology Company, Ltd., of Taiwan, R.O.C. ISO standards specify the requirements for state-of-the-art products, services, processes, materials and systems, and for good conformity assessment, managerial and organizational practices too. “Both parties to the M & E Technology joint venture bring a solid and demonstrated commitment to ISO standards to the relationship, so it is significant that our new joint venture is now in full compliance of ISO standards as well,” says Craig Thomas, General Manager of M & E Technology.
Ergotron was also the first company certified to use the VESA® Mounting Compliance Logo. The VESA® Flat Display Mounting Interface (FDMI™) Standard defines mounting interfaces and hole patterns for LCD monitors, plasma displays and other flat panel devices. All of Ergotron’s new Flat Panel Mounting Solutions are designed to utilize the VESA FDMI standard—making monitor attachment quick and easy across the globe.
“Our commitment to design standards within our patented products, and the M & E Technology commitment to excellence-based manufacturing, put Ergotron in a very strategic position to continue forming strong alliances with key OEMs and global Channel Partners. We are especially excited about the opportunity we have to better serve Asia,” states Joel Hazzard, Ergotron’s President. “Between the ISO 9001:2000 certification, full VESA Mounting Compliance and Ergotron’s superior CF™ technology, we will be able to accelerate the introduction of our products into targeted vertical markets and to consumers in Asia.”
