ISO 9001:2000
We deeply care about the quality of services we provide - in 2004 AsstrA Associated Traffic AG, the group of transportation and logistics companies, earned the international certificate of compliance of its quality management system with the ISO 9001:2000 standards.
When the certificate expired in 2007, a re-certification audit of the quality management system took place. Certificate CH04/0232.0 is valid from March 12, 2007 through March 11, 2010.
The certificate confirms that “…the management system of AsstrA Associated Traffic AG and of all its subsidiaries in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Germany, China and Kazakhstan has been evaluated and that it meets the ISO 9001:2000 requirements.”
