FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hillsboro, OR – [December 16, 2025] – Entro Industries, a leading provider of custom walking systems and heavy haul solutions for the oil and gas industry, today announced it has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification from an ANAB-accredited certification body. The certification extends quality management standards across engineering design, purchasing, and management operations—building on a decade-long partnership with ISO 9001-certified fabrication facilities.

The certification project, led internally by Benjamin Fordyce and developed with Industrial Inspections consultant Boyce Towell, creates a comprehensive quality framework tailored specifically to Entro's custom machinery operations. While Entro products have been manufactured in ISO 9001 facilities through partner Western Fabrication for more than 10 years, this certification brings the entire product lifecycle under a unified quality management system.

"This certification demonstrates our commitment to quality extends beyond our manufacturing floor to every aspect of our business," said Shawn R. Smith, PE, president of Entro Industries. "Our clients operate in environments where equipment reliability directly impacts operational safety and efficiency. This expanded quality framework ensures systematic excellence from initial design calculations through field deployment."

For machinery and equipment manufacturers, ISO 9001 ensures documented processes that minimize defects and create consistent, high-quality products that meet customer requirements. For Entro's clients, the certification provides independent verification of consistent quality across all operational phases—from conceptual design of multi-million-pound walking systems to field service support worldwide. Entro’s accreditation from an ANAB-accredited certification body ensures that our quality management system is recognized worldwide. This enables our international customers to have confidence in the consistent quality and competence of Entro Industries and the custom solutions we provide.

The ISO 9001:2015 standard emphasizes risk-based thinking and continual improvement, aligning with Entro's engineering philosophy of delivering precision-engineered solutions for demanding applications. The certification improves the impact and benefit of periodic auditing and provides the most widely accepted quality system standard for manufacturing industries.

Entro’s conservative design approach ensures critical pins, cylinders, and linkages are built for durability. This mindset—combined with decades of experience—means equipment continues to perform even under unpredictable load cases and harsh operating conditions.

The certification encompasses Entro's full range of capabilities:

• Engineering design for walking systems with capacities exceeding 3.6 million pounds
• Custom rig design and heavy haul equipment development
• Purchasing and vendor management processes
• Management systems and organizational procedures

Western Fabrication's longstanding ISO 9001, API Q1, and API 4F certifications have ensured Entro products meet rigorous quality standards during production. The new certification creates end-to-end quality assurance—particularly valuable for complex projects like the recent 3.6 million-pound capacity X-Swing Pony Sub walking system and ongoing rehabilitation projects for failed competitor equipment.

"We hope this helps demonstrate Entro's commitment to quality in all aspects of our business to current and future clients," Smith added.

With over 55 years of combined design and manufacturing experience, Entro has designed over 300 moving rigs, serving oil and gas, aerospace, mining, and infrastructure sectors globally.
