Do-It Corporation Achieves ISO 14000:2004 Certification

International Recognition for Environmental Management Practices Further Reflects Do-It's Commitment to Its Customers and the Environment.

Do-It Corporation, the inventor of the hang tab, announces that it has received its International Organizations for Standardization (ISO) 14000:2004 certification for Environmental Management practices. This achievement illustrates Do-It Corporation's commitment to exceeding customer expectations through continuously improving their processes and services. The ISO 14000 certification is primarily concerned with "environmental management". This includes what the organization does to minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and to achieve continual improvement of its environmental performance.

"Our ISO 14000:2004 certification for environmental management is the next logical step for our long-standing focus to deliver the highest quality hang tab products to our customers, world-wide," said Mark McClendon, President of Do-It Corporation. "Our customers can be assured that our system is validated by an independent third party as complying with an internationally recognized environmental standard."

Do-It earned its ISO 14001:2004 Certificate of Registration on December 13, 2005 by NSF International Strategic Registrations, Ltd. Do-It's ISO 14001:2004 certificate number is 65932-1. In 1998, Do-It earned its ISO Quality Management System 9001:1994 certification, helping increase customer satisfaction and product consistency above 99 percent. In December of 2002, and again in 2005, Do-It was re-certified for ISO 9001:2000 by meeting more stringent criteria for production methods, quality procedures, and product quality. Do-It's ISO 9001:2000 certificate number is 65931-4.
