NEXFLASH TECHNOLOGIES CERTIFIED FOR LATEST ISO QUALITY STANDARD

  • Serial Flash Memory Leader Announces Completion of ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System; Strong Supply Chain Supports Volume Production of spiFlash Serial Flash Memories

SAN JOSE, Calif., USA - July 26th, 2004
NexFlash Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in Serial Flash technology, today announced the company's certification to the latest ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System. NexFlash was audited and certified by TUV America, the world's second-largest registrar management. The certification, in addition to an already-strong set of certified supply-chain partners, reaffirms the company's commitment to a quality standard recognized by manufacturers worldwide.

NexFlash has implemented an unprecedented level of information-systems management, which contributed heavily in the company's successful ISO certification. The fully automated desktop system, tailored specifically for NexFlash, enables the company to manage all quality and supply chain activity online, with access to systems at supply-chain partners' locations. This level of information compatibility and manageability far exceeds the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.

NexFlash and all of its supply-chain partners - Winbond Electronics, Lingsen Precision Industries, King Yuan Electronics, JSI and U-Freight - now are certified to the latest ISO standards. NexFlash's strong supply chain and quality management system are currently supporting high-volume production of the company's flagship NexFlash™ spiFlash® line of Serial Flash memories.

"NexFlash's adoption of this ISO 9001:2000 standard is in line with our quality mission statement to 'continually improve system quality through customer-driven indices, ongoing quality assessment and training, and monitoring of our supply chain' " said Phil Frierson, senior director of quality at NexFlash, who has more than 25 years' experience in quality management and has guided several other companies to ISO compliance. "The end result ensures that customers receive the highest quality and reliability possible in our products and services.

"Our quality systems, in conjunction with certification to the latest ISO 9001:2000 standard, enable NexFlash to drive quality with high standards and manage the supply chain in a manner that best serves our customers for our advanced Serial Flash memory products."
