Sanmina-SCI Earns 20th ISO Certification

San Jose, Calif.-based Sanmina-SCI Corp.’s facility in Suzhou, China, has been awarded ISO 13485 certification for medical device manufacturing. This certification level is an internationally recognized standard indicating that a company consistently produces medical devices that meet government regulations as well as customer requirements.
