The agenda included the official announcement of the Gold certification by Michael Loos, Senior Director of Quality & CI, via online participation, followed by the unveiling of the Gold Certificate by Tony Najjar, Daniel Stirpe, and Weihai Leaders Brian Chen and Wang Jing. The journey to achieving this certification was shared by Jing, highlighting the dedication and hard work involved. The event concluded with all four presenting gifts to the employees and offering their congratulations.
Achieving COS Gold certification signifies that the Weihai facility has met and sustained high performance standards across eight critical metrics: safety, on-time delivery, quality, cost of poor quality (COPQ), inventory, productivity, talent development, and market feedback analysis. This recognition is a testament to the facility’s commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement.
“The CIRCOR Operating System (COS) is our foundational methodology for achieving operational excellence. It is designed to deliver tangible benefits to our customers, our industry, our global infrastructure, our businesses, and our employees,” said Tony Najjar, President and CEO of CIRCOR International. “The Weihai facility’s achievement of COS Gold certification reflects the passion and hard work of our teams. Their dedication to continuous improvement and operational excellence is exemplary.”
Weihai’s journey to Gold certification began with achieving COS Silver status in 2021, just a year after the facility’s official opening. This rapid progression to Gold in May 2024 underscores the facility’s robust operational processes and the unwavering support from the leadership team.
CIRCOR’s COS framework is an integral part of the company’s strategy to foster a culture of excellence and accountability. It involves a rigorous, phased approach where facilities progress through Bronze and Silver certifications before achieving Gold. This structured journey ensures that all aspects of the operation are optimized for efficiency, reliability, and lean manufacturing principles.
Tony Najjar added, “Our Weihai facility’s success story is a powerful example of what can be achieved through teamwork, leadership, and a relentless focus on operational excellence. We are proud of their accomplishments and look forward to their continued contributions to CIRCOR’s global success.”

Engineered with flexibility in mind, the Flojet N-Fuser can be used for both CO2 and nitrogen infusion, allowing operators to reach various levels of carbonation or nitro-foam with multiple beverages, including dairy. Due to its ‘on demand’ capability, the system delivers a highly consistent performance to support both frequent and intermittent pours.
With the rise in popularity of nitro-infused beverages, particularly within the global coffee market, operators of dispensing systems are seeking greater flexibility, and a consistent flavor profile. Retailers now require more advanced solutions that support inline nitrogen infusion and traditional carbonation, all within a small footprint. The new Flojet N-Fuser is an all-in-one, highly compact system, that can be readily configured based on consumer demand. The system is easy to install, with no onsite adjustment required. Unlike other infusion systems, the Flojet N-Fuser does not require a special valve to set up the infusion level, and the system is easy to operate, clean and maintain.
“The Flojet N-Fuser inline gas infusion system offers the smallest mounting envelope on the market, with the simplest installation and setup – making it the perfect choice for beverage retailers who are looking to offer more choice while maximizing space and balancing costs. The system also has the unique ability to replicate the same taste and experience with every pour, allowing retailers to meet customer expectations, every time.” said Dave Allen, Director of Product Management & Marketing at Xylem. “Our Flojet brand has more than 45 years of proven experience in the beverage dispensing market, delivering advanced solutions that help our customers meet growing consumer demands while meeting industry compliance standards.”
Retailers can also add additional components to the N-Fuser system to meet their specific requirements, including pumps, vacuum switches, and pressure switches. In addition to meeting customer requirements, the Flojet N-Fuser system also meets stringent food grade and NSF certification standards for increased peace of mind.
