Listed Megawide Construction Corp cemented further its footprint as the country's innovator in engineering and construction as it obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification for its Precast and Construction Solutions division for its adherence to global standards as it prepares for more large-scale projects and contracts, especially with the boom in infra projects.

“Our commitment to global standards is further solidified with this ISO Certification. With this under our belt, we will be more capable of supporting the Company’s ongoing pivot to infrastructure and, at the same time, enable us to serve other industry players in the same space,” said Markus Hennig, Megawide Executive Vice President for Business Units.

The accreditation also includes Ready-Mix Concrete, Construction Equipment and Logistics Services, and Formworks businesses, in addition to the Precast unit.

The ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) Certification is awarded to organizations that demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that improve customer satisfaction while also complying with all regulatory and statutory requirements, demonstrating a commitment to continually improve products, services, procedures, and processes.

Hennig went on to explain that QMS is frequently a criterion for high-level project tenders and demonstrates the company's dedication to operational excellence and innovation.

“We understand that critical and large infrastructure developments require long-term expertise and entail compliance with strict engineering and safety standards. A certified QMS helps us achieve this and ensure that design, products, and methodology meet project requirements, regulatory benchmarks, and client specifications, not to mention strengthen value-add propositions and increase the likelihood for potential partnerships with foreign and local players,” he added.

Megawide recently signed Contract Package 104 of the Metro Manila Subway Project with its Japanese partners Tokyu Construction and Tobishima Corporation. It is also rapidly growing its transport-centric development (TCD) portfolio, which is based on a hub-and-spoke strategy and now includes the country's first landport, PITX.

Through a cooperative effort with the Cebu City Government, Megawide is also modernizing Cebu's 100-year-old Carbon District, including its public market.

Receiving ISO 9001:2015 certification is part of the company’s journey toward long-term growth and operational excellence. To play a larger role in the country's infrastructure development, Megawide is constantly improving its operating capabilities and sharpening its competitive edge.

Megawide has also received other certifications such as ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management System), OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System), and previous versions of ISO 9001, ISO 9001:2008 for its comprehensive approach to providing exceptional service and quality management as part of the Company's drive for outstanding workmanship and industry leadership.
