International certification

ISO 9001 is a global standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that requires organizations to ensure their products and services meet customer expectations. It involves the integration of risk management processes and the establishment of proactive, goal-oriented objectives to continuously improve quality management systems. Achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification demonstrates alignment with international standards, the ability to meet customer requirements, and builds customer trust. It can also increase organizational visibility, foster business growth, enhance product quality, services, and open up new business opportunities.

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard outlining how to implement an effective environmental management system. It helps organizations maintain business success while managing their environmental responsibilities. The standard reduces environmental impacts during growth and provides guidance across areas such as procurement, warehousing, distribution, product development, and manufacturing. As customer expectations for corporate social responsibility continue to rise, the ISO 14001 framework helps meet both customer expectations and legal requirements.

IATF 16949 is a quality management system standard for the automotive industry. It applies to manufacturers and suppliers involved in the production of products, materials, and services (such as surface treatment) for the automotive industry, including automotive components. Achieving IATF 16949:2016 certification demonstrates a commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and delivering better products and services to customers efficiently.

ISO/IEC 17025 is the global standard for laboratory testing and calibration. It specifies general requirements for the competence of testing and/or calibration laboratories. Achieving ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certification enhances the ability to consistently produce reliable and valid results.

The Dun & Bradstreet certification establishes an internationally recognized corporate identity, offering global exposure and enhancing business reputation.

The former COVENTYA chemical system was integrated into the MacDermid system in 2021.

MacDermid Enthone’s sealants are part of a versatile, high-performance coating product line trusted by engineers worldwide. These sealants are increasingly relied upon to protect zinc and zinc-alloy coatings, making them particularly suitable for the automotive industry. They effectively enhance the performance of any metal coating and have become critical components of next-generation chromium-free surface treatments, ensuring superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting aesthetics.

Key features include wear resistance, lubrication, UV identification, and heat resistance. MacDermid Enthone sealants ensure effective insulation and isolation between dissimilar metals, making them the ideal choice for diverse applications.

JS 500 and JS 600 improve the corrosion resistance and friction coefficient properties of most electroplated, mechanically plated parts, and threaded fasteners. Zinc surface treatments incorporating JS 500 or JS 600 can serve as eco-friendly alternatives to cadmium-based coatings in various applications.

Both JS 500 and JS 600 are water-based products compatible with most electroplating lines, offering an environmentally responsible solution without compromising performance.
