06/27/2024 (Netherlands) – As the founding auditing firm that has performed the most CSIA audits around the world, we can confirm that EKB has met the audit requirements established by the Control System Integrators Association at multiple sites. The EKB site in Beverwijk has met the audit requirements established by the CSIA for the sixth time, while the Drachten site has met the audit requirements established by the CSIA for the fourth time. Finally, the EKB site in Someren has met the audit requirements established by the CSIA for the third time.
“EKB has always been a strong supporter of the CSIA certification program and dropped their ISO certification in favor of a program that better suits the needs of building a strong system integration company,” commented Don Roberts, the Exotek Auditor. “They have been able to convince their customers of this important distinction. Additionally, by doing audits across their separate locations, they can find the subtle differences between the locations and identify the best practices internally to roll out to all locations.”
“EKB and Exotek have worked together since 2008. That was the first time we finally experienced an auditing company that knows our industry well. Exotek has very experienced employees and I cannot think of a company who could do a better job,” explained Remco Kappert, Integration Manager at EKB. “It is not only the CSIA audit itself that gives feedback of where your company stands. It is also the discussion with colleagues and the Exotek auditor that gives tons of possibilities to excel in the way we work. That is of immense value, even after the sixth audit.”
