Quality & Compliance

VMEC’s Focus on Quality

We strive to help you improve operations, build stronger relationships with customers, and achieve long-term success through a commitment to quality and continuous improvement. We support the International Organization of Standards (ISO) Quality Certification with training that is company specific, and through knowledge-sharing training events.

We also support Food Safety Quality training for small to medium food manufacturers. They will receive enhanced and consistent food safety training options, including classroom training and a diverse learning cohort group.

Research and Evidence Based Outcomes

VMEC’s training on manufacturing product quality, as well as food quality, are the key building blocks for increasing customer satisfaction, efficiency, and establishing a culture of continuous improvement. As Vermont’s trusted resource for over 25 years, VMEC generates a significant positive return on your investment. From a high level we have helped retain 443 jobs, create 930 jobs, and over $9,000,000 in cost savings in 2022 alone. We strongly promote an engaged workforce who continuously improve processes to benefit your businesses.

Our Goal
