Rice Receives ISO 9001 Certification
It has been more than 100 years since company founder Maximino Rice man- ufactured the first propeller, and nearly 40 years since Rice installed its first pro- peller for use in the U.S. Since that time, the U.S. has played a key role in
Rice Propeller's success, as the compa- ny has provided approximately 20,000 propellers in this market.
Standing as a testament to its more than four decades of quality manufac- turing and customer service, Rice Pro- pellers has recently obtained the ISO 9001 certification through Bureau Veri- tas. It is worthy to note, as the company did, that Rice's very first customer is to this day still installing Rice propellers and nozzles.
