Portland, Oregon - MEC Northwest, a manufacturer of custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assemblies, located in Portland, Oregon, received its upgrade of ISO:9001 certification.
The certification process was audited by TUV Rheinland.
According to Rick McClain, MEC Northwest's General Manager, the certification process involved TUV Rheinland reviewing all internal processes relating to service, delivery and quality.
