AIMS and ISO Certifications
The Superior Graphite Quality Management System is known as "AIMS”, an acronym for:

A	Adaptive means a flexible and changing system to meet the needs of our customers today and in the future.
I	Integrated means people and their functions react together to create a win / win situation for Superior Graphite and it’s customers.
M	Management means that the processes implemented are directed toward prevention, not detection, to create the climate for success.
S	Systems means materials, methods, machinery and manpower are working together to achieve the goal of Superior Graphite.

The AIMS system was certified to the ISO 9001 standard in 1994. Since then, all manufacturing sites have completed the transition to ISO 9001:2000. Our quality system registrars, SRI and BVQI complete annual surveillance audits to assure our ongoing compliance. Due to our ongoing cooperation with customers, and intense self-auditing program, the AIMS system is continually improving in order to meet our customer’s needs and expectations. Our quality management system is also registered with RAB, RVC and/or SWEDAC. Below, you will find our ISO 9001:2000 Certifications:
