GERMANTOWN, Wis. (Dec. 19, 2017) – Sunlite Plastics Inc. announced today that after a rigorous process audit, the company has officially obtained Accreditation from MedAccred in plastics extrusion – making it the first company globally to achieve this honor.

Sunlite received MedAccred Accreditation for demonstrating its ongoing commitment to product quality by satisfying customer requirements, meeting stringent industry specifications and achieving compliance to manufacturing best practices addressed in the thorough audit criteria. Sunlite is a subsidiary of Diversatek Inc.
“On behalf of Sunlite Plastics Inc., we’re thrilled to be recognized for our manufacturing expertise and quality assurance,” said Diversatek Inc.
