Other Welocalize global centers of excellence have recently and successfully completed their annual quality audits. Welocalize's offices in Beijing and Jinan, China, passed the three-year recertification audits for ISO 9001:2008 on June 25, 2015. Welocalize in Cheshire, United Kingdom also recently passed the annual ISO 9001:2008 surveillance audit.

Welocalize acquired Agostini Associati in 2014. They were the first Italian company in the translation industry to have achieved UNI EN ISO 9001 certification in 1998. The quality management system related to this certification expects complete client satisfaction, exceeding expectations through the optimization of company internal organizational processes.

"We are proud of our UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 and UNI EN 15038:2006 certifications renewal," said Smith Yewell, CEO at Welocalize. "It is a concrete result of our organizational effort to improve our services and go beyond satisfying to exceeding our clients' expectations. The client is our number one priority and we strive to provide high value-added translation services with an absolute guarantee of timeliness, quality and operational efficiency."

Welocalize's Italian-based provider, Agostini Associati, was one of the first translation service suppliers in Europe to have achieved UNI EN 15038:2006 certification. It is the first European standard that specifies the qualitative requests for providing translation services. Important points within this standard include the management of human resources, technical resources, contracts and quality.

"Welocalize operates within a process-approach framework of quality and security guidelines," said Liz Thomas, senior director of quality and training at Welocalize. "This framework ensures quality, as well as transparency, traceability and value-add services for all our clients in every industry sector.
