With the recertification, Libra Industries – Mentor is equipped to serve the aviation, space and defense as well as medical device industries with a proven quality management system.
“Libra is tremendously honored to renew our ISO certifications,” David Henison, Libra Industries’ CFO. “The renewal validates the confidence we have in the quality of our medical devices and it reflects the long-term focus we have had in supporting the medical segment.”
All four of Libra Industries’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Northeast Ohio and Texas, are certified to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2012. The company also is certified to FDA, UL, CSA, NIST and ITAR standards. Libra Industries serves a diverse base of industries such as medical, military/aerospace, industrial and LED lighting, and these certifications ensure that the company can meet the highest quality requirements.
The ISO 9001:2008 standard specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Libra Industries demonstrated its continued effort to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
The ISO 13485 standard supplements the ISO 9001 standard and is specific to medical device quality systems. ISO 13485:2012 was published in January 2012 and supersedes ISO 13485:2003. The new version of the standard was developed to harmonize with the EU Medical Device Directives 90/385/EEC, 93/42/EEC and 98/79/EC. It provides assurance to medical device end-users outside of the United States and assurance of compliance to the European legislation.
Libra Industries continues to invest to provide customized manufacturing solutions to help make its customers more competitive and improve their profitability.

Nolan’s Notes: Is Mexico the Pulse of Electronics in the Americas?
11/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast year, I attended SMTA Guadalajara, where I saw the results of the Mexican investment in electronics manufacturing. The U.S. was still operating under the Biden administration, and while Mexican EMS companies had expanded capacity to support EV manufacturing, the demand dropped significantly. In my conversations at the show, the sentiment was one of patience. They knew the EV business would likely come back. However, they didn’t expect an overhaul of U.S. trade agreements and tariffs that would shift a more diversified portfolio in Mexico’s direction.
