LÉVIS, QC, Oct. 7, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Davie, Canada's largest shipbuilder, strengthens its leading position by obtaining the new ISO 9001:2015 certification. The first of any Canadian shipbuilder to do so.

Davie is not only the largest shipyard in Canada, but also a trusted partner whose professionalism satisfies one of the highest global standards.

Issued by the International Standards Organization, the new version of the ISO 9001 certification recognizes, among others, the company's customer orientation.
