NOFFZ Meets CSIA Requirements for 4th Time

OCT 12, 2022 (Tönisvorst, Germany) – As the founding auditing firm that has performed the most CSIA audits around the world, we can confirm that NOFFZ Technologies GmbH has met the audit requirements established by the Control System Integrators Association for the fourth time.

“Noffz Technologies GmbH just completed their audit for recertification and did exceptionally well. They did the audit with very little preparation showing how well their continuous improvement systems are in place,” commented, Don Roberts, the Exotek Auditor. “During the period between audits they also took on major initiatives like succession transition, bookings growth significantly over 100%, and started construction of a new, much larger, facility. Hats off to the young leadership team there.”

Markus Solbach, NOFFZ Managing Director, said “Exotek has great auditors, who understand the real system integration business, so they can share good information, feedback, ideas, and suggestions. We can then discuss and implement improvements contributing to our overall company performance and business results. By repeatedly benchmarking our business, we gain confidence level that NOFFZ is not only moving in the right direction but staying on track to meet our company goals and KPIs.

“Additionally, Exotek’s expert feedback has led to newly implemented processes and departments. For example, we established a global service & support team centralized from NOFFZ headquarters, triggered by our last audit. Today, it contributes more than 7% of Global NOFFZ Revenue.”
