The top management at the Spero Group decided to tackle the bull by the horns when they announced the ISO9001/2000 certification project. Top management made this decision to establish a quality management system and continually improve its effectiveness and maintain international quality standards. Several months and endless man hours of preparations, in depth training as well as fun like competitions within the company resulted with accreditation on 6 May 2005. The certification of ISO9001/2000 is a well deserved award and an achievement of a goal.
The company aims to enhance customer satisfaction, offer quality products and render services which meet their customer's expectations. All staff have a very high understanding of the ISO9001-2000 and its requirements. Since the implementation, it is a daily way of living at Spero, all personnel are geared to maintain the integrity of the ISO system with traceability of all documentation, and keep our customers happy! It is not only a framed certificate.
Spero Group operates out of its custom-built premises in the Highveld Techno Park in Centurion, which it occupied in 1998. This location, adjacent to the major highway network in Gauteng allows it to most conveniently service its major customer base in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, North West Province and the Free State, the PWV area and all the city authorities all over the country.

The range has various applications for the mining and industry sector.
