Prior to the EMS implementation Rade Koncar has successfully achieved a certified ISO 9001 Quality Management System.
The implementation work has been done by a company project team in collaboration with local consultants Igor Ristovski and Blaga Zlatanoska.
Rade Koncar expects to be ISO 14001 certified in May 2011.
Teteks Yarn
Teteks Yarn produces wool tread and yarn with manufacturing and office premises in Tetovo. The company is joint venture between Macedonian company Teteks AD and Norwegian company SandnesGarn. In its current configuration the company was founded in 2007, and they have around 240 employees.
The wish of a healthy environment and more efficient usage of the raw materials and energy is the main motivation for the company for entering the EMS program.
Sadly, due to internal resource challenges at Teteks Yarn the EMS implementation has been postponed indefinitely and the project support terminated. We hope that Teteks Yarn will restart their process at a later date, and we wish them all the best. The presiding local consultant was Blaga Zlatanoska in collaboration with a team from the company.
