aiCo Industries Inc. earned its 25th consecutive

MAmerican Institute of Steel Construction quality certification renewal last month. AISC certification recognizes MaiCo Industries for maintaining steel fabrication operations that meet AISC quality requirements for “Standard for Steel Building Structures”, “Certified Bridge Fabrication — Simple” and “Standard for Bridge and Highway Metal Components”.

AISC conducted a rigorous audit which certified that MaiCo Industries meets and exceeds the highest industry standards and current ISO standards for welding fabrication. AISC certification is the recognized international quality certification program for the structural steel industry.

AISC certification and ISO standards are designed to ensure quality structural steel fabrication. Meeting the standards demonstrates MaiCo’s commitment to producing quality steel fabrication for customers in the industrial and commercial industries.

MaiCo Plant Manager Dave Cox was quick to point out that the AISC certification process continues to evolve and becomes more rigorous each year to ensure quality to customers.

“AISC continues to enhance their quality standards to ensure the program provides recognizable value to our customers and reflects a commitment to quality,” Cox said. “As an example, AISC quality certification now exceeds ISO criteria.”

According to AISC, more steel fabrication projects are requiring certification compliance and more steel fabricators are becoming certified as a way to establish a project’s expected level of quality.

Initially certified in 1998, MaiCo Industries completed a diligent re-certification process in Aug. 2023 to demonstrate its commitment to quality and to differentiate itself in the steel fabrication industry. Every year since 1998, MaiCo has maintained its AISC certification.

“AISC quality certification differentiates MaiCo Industries from our competitors and provides us an advantage that our industrial and commercial customers recognize,” Cox said. “It is not simply about a piece of paper or certificate. The annual AISC audit ensures that every day we are doing what is needed to produce quality steel fabrication.

“For 25 consecutive years, the audit has emphasized that quality processes are followed and has focused us on improving procedures so that we exceed industry quality standards.

“I am proud that our MaiCo Industries employees work hard to achieve quality and continue to deliver reliable and quality steel fabrication, superior customer service, as well as award-winning safety performance.”
