HORIBASTEC Co., Ltd. introduced an Integrated Management System (IMS) that integrates an ISO9001-compliant quality management system, an ISO14001-compliant environment management system, and an OHSAS18001-compliant occupational health and safety management system in April 2008. The active use of IMS has been promoted to contribute to a company-wide operation.

In April 2009, HORIBASTEC acquired an ISO13485 - compliant in vitro diagnostic device management system. The new system enables us to control and assure quality of hemoglobin kits for our Hematology Analyzer that is used to monitor human and animal health.

As part of its “One Company” management approach, the Horiba Group is planning the establishment and operation of a Group IMS in the coming years. HORIBASTEC continues to value customers as a member of stakeholders to demonstrate a corporate social responsibility (CSR). And we promise to strengthen and renovate corporate quality to promote well-balanced “Product Quality/Business Quality”, “Occupational Safety and Health” and “Global environmental Protection” aiming to enhance further system efficiency,
