NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Craft Worldwide, a global marketing production and adaptation agency, today announced that that its quality management system has been certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard by the National Standards Authority of Ireland, a leading global quality registrar. NSAI has audited Craft units in Boston, London, Mumbai, New York, Santiago, and Toronto to confirm that production processes comply with the requirements of the standard. The company previously earned certification to the ISO 9001:2008 standard in 2016 for its Mumbai and New York studios as well as for its translation division.
