Expanding Wolfson’s culture of quality company-wide

Edinburgh, 27 June 2008 - Wolfson Microelectronics plc announces that its engineering centre in High Wycombe has attained accreditation to the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management standard, following a comprehensive audit by the British Standards Institute (BSI). The High Wycombe facility becomes Wolfson’s second to attain accreditation, repeating the achievement of its main engineering centre in Edinburgh in 1994.

Norman Davidson, Engineering Programme Manager of Wolfson, commented: “The High Wycombe facility was inherited by Wolfson as part of its acquisition of Sonaptic last year. It’s where the majority of engineering is carried out for the Wolfson AudioPlus™ enhanced soundware technology that covers a range of advanced psycho-acoustic software algorithms for active noise cancellation, sound enhancement and 3D sound. As with any professional certification body, before awarding us accreditation, it has been necessary to see a history of continued conformance and application to the standard. We’re very pleased that this has now been formally recognised.”

“Attaining this accreditation is a great achievement for all the team involved and the Company in general,” commented Dave Shrigley, CEO at Wolfson. “The plan has always been to have complementary systems and methods running across all our engineering centres; this accreditation further harmonises that plan and means that our customers and business partners can be assured of Wolfson’s commitment to quality.”

As part of Wolfson’s ongoing commitment, the Company’s third UK office in Swindon has also applied for certification to ISO 9001, which it hopes to achieve within the next few months.
