In the world of boat lifts, Golden Boat Lifts isn’t just another manufacturer—we’re the benchmark of quality, durability, and reliability. One reason why we stand above the rest is our ISO 9001:2015 certification, an internationally recognized standard that signifies our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. From our newest products, like the Invisilift and boat lift canopies, to our entire lift lineup, every Golden product reflects our dedication to excellence. Let’s dive into what ISO certification means and why it matters to our valued customers.
What is ISO 9001:2015?
ISO 9001:2015 is a standard set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for a company’s quality management system. Being ISO certified means a company has met strict requirements in areas such as quality control, process improvement, and customer satisfaction. For customers, this certification is a badge of assurance—a symbol that the company is committed to maintaining top-tier quality.
Why Did Golden Boat Lifts Pursue ISO Certification?
In 2012, our founder, Bill Golden, set a goal to make Golden Boat Lifts the first boat lift manufacturer to achieve ISO certification. His vision wasn’t just about recognition; it was about establishing a culture of excellence that permeates every part of our company.
External Impact: Building Trust and Credibility
Bill wanted our customers and the entire marine industry to understand our commitment to quality. By achieving ISO certification, we demonstrated our promise to continually improve every part of our operations for the benefit of our customers. For boat owners, this means peace of mind—when you choose a Golden Boat Lift, you’re choosing a product backed by a company that values quality at every step.
Internal Impact: Consistency and Continuous Improvement
Internally, achieving ISO certification transformed our operations. Every process, from manufacturing to quality assurance, became more structured and reliable. Today, nearly every step is standardized, documented, and streamlined to maintain high standards in every lift we produce. These rigorous processes cover everything from quality planning and inspections to handling non-conforming products and promoting continuous improvement.
How We Achieved ISO Certification
Achieving ISO certification took a comprehensive evaluation of our operations and a clear roadmap to meet the rigorous standards. Once we had a plan, we formalized procedures, set up required processes, and trained our team to deliver on these new standards consistently. By 2013, we were officially certified, setting a new benchmark for the boat lift industry.
What ISO Certification Means for You
Certification isn’t a one-time achievement; it’s an ongoing commitment. Every year, an independent third-party auditor reviews our practices, ensuring we continue to meet—and improve upon—ISO standards. For our customers, this translates to confidence in every Golden product, knowing we uphold the same high standards year after year.
Why Golden Boat Lifts Sets the Standard
The result of this dedication is a company you can rely on, backed by a track record of excellence. Golden Boat Lifts has sold tens of thousands of boat lifts worldwide, each one built with the quality that ISO certification demands. So when you invest in a Golden Boat Lift, you’re investing in a product that represents years of refinement, commitment, and trust.
With our latest products, like the Invisilift and our new boat lift canopy selection, we continue to push boundaries while honoring the standards that make us an industry leader. At Golden Boat Lifts, we’re proud to be the standard in quality—and we’re dedicated to keeping it that way.
