The Costa Rican office of Atmos International (Atmos) has achieved the country brand certification, essential Costa Rica. This certification evaluated the office in five different areas.
Atmos started operations in Costa Rica in 2009 and has since supported projects and maintenance for clients in the United States and Latin America. Headquartered in Manchester, UK, Atmos applies its leak detection technologies in over 60 countries and over 1500 pipelines worldwide.
From Costa Rica, Atmos provides support to products and services such as: Atmos Maintenance, Atmos Pipe and Atmos Wave pipeline leak detection technologies. This certification allows Atmos operations to be recognized with the Costa Rican values of the country brand: excellence, sustainability, innovation, social progress and Costa Rican origin. Atmos not only passed the evaluation, it also scored high on each of the values.
Daniel Valverde, Country Brand Director, congratulated the company and recalled that “Costa Rica’s country brand is a differentiator of competitiveness for companies and a way to connect with their customers through high-quality services produced by local talent. When you hire a service from a company with "essential Costa Rica", the employability and talent of the local workforce are supported".
"This certification demonstrates the effort that Atmos makes to maintain high quality standards in all our products and services, as well as the continuous development of our colleagues and promoting a culture of responsible growth," says Brandon Musick, Operations Manager of Atmos Costa Rica. Prior to the evaluation, Atmos already had a social responsibility committee, with which they promote environmental and social volunteer activities.
Dr Zhang says: “It is a pleasure to obtain a certification of this type, which requires organisations to have high standards in different aspects. This certification goes hand in hand with our values, fresh thinking, being brilliant together and maximising our potential, along with our goal of providing the best customer service in the industry.”
Atmos International was founded in 1995. This year, on its 25th anniversary, it also received the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, in the Innovation category. A prestigious UK award personally selected by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
