About ISO 9001
While Imai Gikou has absolute confidence in our mirror-polishing technology, in the past we had been unable to assess post-polishing measurement results on our own, and had asked our customers to examine and evaluate the work.
As a result of pursuing efforts to ensure precision by quantifying grinding precision and performing measurements in-house at customers’ requests, we have obtained ISO 9001 certification as a pioneer among polishing shops.
We have adopted measuring instruments that let us quantify our ability to meet customer needs. Imai Gikou provides higher value-added technology.
