To achieve this, we have continued to invest in our
facilities, our equipment and our people. This has involved the establishment of a dedicated, five-strong finishing team, who personally handle orders for all specially finished parts. This includes the tracking of customer’s orders from placement and arrival at our facility, through the plating process, right up until final delivery.
Delivering quality and peace of mind For customers’ peace of mind on quality, Icon is able to
provide PPAP certification up to level 3 on our products. Critically, this accreditation has to be carried out at the time of manufacture and can’t be provided retrospectively. This is particularly important for those supplying products for use in the automotive sector, as this will normally be a standard requirement from their customers, the equipment specifiers. Where a lower level of quality rating will suffice, an initial sample inspection report (ISIR), can be provided. All quality checks and accreditations are carried out by Icon’s dedicated quality control team that can source and manufacture bespoke fastening products in accordance with customer specifications. Quality is approved to BS E ISO 9001-2000.
Traditional products Another example of the type of specialist products from Icon is
the traditional Philidas nut, which has been available on the UK fastenings market for around 70 years and is still widely specified and installed today. This is a high quality ‘locking’ nut used in critical applications such as the rail industry on rolling stock
and on rail tracks, where security and safety are paramount. Although the fundamental design of the nut has remained the same since it was first manufactured, it is still a reliable and important product that needs to be readily available in plentiful quantities for customers when they want it. As the UK fights its way out of recession, it is those who
have focused on service and their product offering who will be best placed to take advantage of the improving situation. At Icon, we’re looking forward to working with existing and new customers and to meeting the challenges that the months and years to come will undoubtedly have in store for us all in the manufacturing sector.
