Tower Semiconductor has achieved the Standards Institute of Israel's (SII) highest honor, the ‘Platinum' Mark, which is awarded to companies that have achieved more than five separate distinct certifications.
Tower is now certified at ISO 9000-2001, QS9000, Automotive TS16949
standard, Safety SI 18001, Information Security ISO 17799 and ISO 14001

"Our attainment of the Platinum status, as a culmination of the half dozen different certifications already achieved, exemplifies our strong commitment to maintain and improve quality, safety, information security and performance standards that benefit our customers, partners and employees," said Amnon Ben Ishai, senior vice president of operations for Tower Semiconductor. "Achieving this status is a very important milestone in our strategic roadmap, as we expand our fabrication capacity and diversify our product offerings to a growing number of customers."
