Quality Assurance, Safety & Reliability BS5750 now ISO 9000 Series (since1982)
Quality assurance has acted as a cornerstone in the Company's success and has contributed greatly to Alco's worldwide appeal, growth and expansion to date. This is why Alco sought and achieved BS5750 (now ISO9000 series) in 1982. Alco saw the need for consistently reliable and safe products for industrial use earlier than most, which is why BS5750 & ISO9000 series quality assurance systems were implemented in 1982, far sooner than other mainstream valve manufacturers around the world. The quality assurance system has been maintained and regularly audited by Lloyds Register (among others) and their international counterparts ever since. Timely, high quality production and manufacturing techniques have always been employed by Alco to produce precision-engineered valve solutions for some of the world's largest companies. Clients operating in some of the most inhospitable areas of the world often use Alco products, therefore our high standards and product reliability counts. Due to Alco's uncompromising standards of safety, design and reliability, stringent applications at high pressures and temperatures in corrosive environments can be easily dealt with. Every valve product is pressure tested. All materials used to manufacture the major components are traceable and copies of original mill certificates are retained for future reference.
