DORMA Gulf and DORMA Middle East awarded the
ISO 9001 certification
The distinguished certification reflects the urgent need for quality building
products and services in the construction industry amid the rising concern
over fire safety and building security
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 16 June, 2013: DORMA Gulf, the regional
arm of the key global player in door technology sector with a century old
legacy, today received the prestigious ISO 9001:2008 certification at an
event held at the newly opened flagship DORMA showroom “The World of
Access” on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai attended by Mr. Brian Baxter,
Service Delivery Manager of Lloyds Register Quality Assurance. The
certification of DORMA Gulf represents a milestone in DORMA’s 40 year
long presence in the region whereby DORMA products are installed in
most of the prestigious projects in the region such as Burj Khalifa, Mall of
the Emirates, and Dubai Metro.
The ISO certification holds prominence given the robust rebound in the
region’s construction sector that is attracting foreign investments in the
recent times. The UAE government’s stand to safeguard the end user’s
interest has given a wider scope to compliance with international
standards in construction activities and highlights the need to improve fire
safety and building security in the country.
In fact, DORMA’s ISO
certification provides the highest world-class standards in supply chain
management in-line with DORMA’s 2020 vision to be the preferred
customer choice. It is also an organic reflection of DORMA’s unique R&D
and certified quality management systems.
Addressing the representatives of the construction sector in the region,
Ben Shaw, Managing Director, DORMA Gulf said,” We are proud to
receive this distinguished certification as the Middle East is embracing a
new exciting period of growth.
DORMA Gulf is committed towards
contributing to safer and more secured icons in the region where our

standards endorsed by the regional government bodies.”

LEAN methodology, which is now certified to the international ISO
9001:2008 standards. In addition to ISO 9001, DORMA Gulf recently
bagged
the
