Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification
Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe GmbH has successfully achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. The audit, conducted by TÜV SÜD, confirms the company's high quality standards and robust processes in the additive manufacturing of technical ceramics.
The certification follows the acquisition of Bosch Advanced Ceramics by Japan's Sintokogio Group, which became effective on January 1, 2026. The company has maintained ISO 9001 certification since 2017, first under the name CeriX and later as Bosch Advanced Ceramics. This latest certification reaffirms the company's long-standing commitment to quality as it embarks on a new chapter as Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe GmbH. The ISO 9001:2015 certificate (No. G951 26 0419) is valid from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2029.
The outcome of the audit was particularly impressive: no non-conformities were identified. "The successful certification demonstrates that we have seamlessly maintained our high quality standards throughout the ownership transition," said Dejan Licinovic, Quality Manager at Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe GmbH, who led the certification process.
"Completing the audit without a single non-conformity is a strong reflection of the quality of our processes and the commitment of our entire team."
ISO 9001 is the world's most widely recognized standard for quality management systems, helping organizations manage and continuously improve their processes in a structured and effective way. At Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe, rigorous quality management forms the foundation for the industrial production of additively manufactured ceramic components. In highly demanding industries such as medical technology, semiconductors, machinery and equipment manufacturing, and aerospace, reliable product quality and repeatable processes are essential.
"Additive manufacturing of technical ceramics involves a highly complex process chain that extends far beyond the printing process itself," Licinovic explained. "From component design and printing to debinding and sintering, every step must be precisely coordinated and carefully controlled. This certification confirms our commitment to ensuring that these processes are transparent, controlled, and fully reproducible."
Managing Director Nikolai Sauer also views the certification as an important milestone for the company: "This certification is the result of an outstanding team effort," Sauer said.
"I would like to sincerely thank all our colleagues who work every day to uphold and continuously improve our high quality standards. We would also like to thank our customers for their trust and confidence. This successful certification reinforces our commitment to being a reliable partner for the additive manufacturing of technical ceramics, now as part of the Sintokogio Group."
With the successful ISO 9001:2015 certification, Sinto Advanced Ceramics Europe further underscores its commitment to delivering additively manufactured ceramic components with consistent industrial-grade quality, supporting innovative and high-performance applications across a wide range of industries.
