YBA Kanoo receives ISO 9001-2015 certification

MANAMA: Major business divisions of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Group (YBA Kanoo) have achieved the ISO 9001:2015 certification for their quality management system, the family-owned business announced yesterday.

Kanoo Industrial and Energy, Kanoo Logistics, Kanoo Shipping, and Kanoo Travel have all been awarded the acclaimed certificate.

ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognised quality management standard developed and published by the Swiss-based International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) that provides a model to build an effective quality management system.

The standard is based on quality management principles, including a strong customer focus, involvement of high-level company management, a process approach and ongoing improvement of the process.

During an event held to celebrate the achievement, the certifications were presented to the group’s deputy chairman Fawzi Ahmed Kanoo as an acknowledgment of his significant role in encouraging employees to focus on quality and customer satisfaction.

“The ISO 9001:2015 confirms that YBA Kanoo’s quality management system consistently provides excellent products and services that meet our customers’ needs and expectations,” said Mr Kanoo.

“We are proud of our people who work hard to ensure that we perform according to the highest quality international standards.”

YBA Kanoo, a diversified conglomerate with a physical presence across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Asia, has completed more than two decades of ISO 9001 certification.

The first certificate was achieved in April 1995.
