Founded in 2010, Abercus is a small consultancy specialising in advanced engineering simulation (CFD, FEA, bespoke software and training) in the energy industries. As a small consultancy, Abercus was initially hesitant to pursue formal ISO 9001 certification because of the investment required in terms of both time and money. Instead, Abercus implemented a quality management system (QMS) designed in line with its understanding of ISO 9001.
