“We were world-class from the beginning.”

For the employees and executives of Rudolf Lietz, Inc., the sunny morning on the 7th of October 2019 was not simply the start of a new week – it also marked a new milestone for the company.

Rudolf Lietz, Inc. was officially certified with the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) with zero non-compliance after certification audits by  TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc., culminating in the 24th of September 2019.

The scope of the QMS covers the sales and distribution of quality raw materials for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetics, personal care and wellness, feed, veterinary and animal health industries.

Mrs. Elizabeth Lietz, Chief Executive Officer of RLI, acknowledged the years of preparation by the employees, and the unity that led to our certification.

 “Everyone was fully involved in this project,”  Mrs. Lietz stated in her remarks, “and if there’s one occasion that the company has really shown resolve to work together, it is this ISO accreditation.”

Special guests from TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. – led by Mr. Tristan Arwen G. Loveres, Managing Director – presented the certificate. TÜV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. is accredited by Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS), the national accreditation body for the Federal Republic of Germany.

Our founder, Mr. Rudolf Lietz, shared his wisdom in his closing statement.

“[This] is like graduation. You study for a few years until the big day: you get a diploma. But actually, you were world-class from the day you started.”

To end his speech, he posed a challenge to everyone present. “The world starts after graduation. You had a wonderful time until you graduated, and it’s the same with us.”

“Today, the work begins.”
