Jan. 27, 2011 — Automotive part and tool supplier Wurth USA announced Thursday it received ISO certification for its management system after an assessment from Intertek Testing Services.

“This is a very exciting day for our company,” said Michael Krause, president and CEO of Wurth USA, which is based in Ramsey, N.J. “We are proud of this accomplishment for the organization as a whole. Our customers and our employees are our greatest asset and without them, we would not be in business.”
