Team Member Tuesday with Kellie Salvaggio!

Today we are celebrating our Regional Manager, Kellie Salvaggio. Thank you for the important work you are doing to save children from accidental poisoning...you are making a difference.

How long have you worked for BDMG?

I have been a proud BDMG employee for the past 10 years. I have served as a proctor, Quality Manager, and currently the Harrisburg Regional Manager.

Tell us a little bit about your family.

I have been married to my husband Marty for the past 29 years. Marty works for the U.S. Postal Service and is a Jockey Agent at Penn National Race Course. We have 2 daughters, Erin and Emily, both are recent 2020 graduates.....Erin graduated from Emory University with her Master's Degree in Public Health and continues living and working in Atlanta. Emily graduated from James Madison University with her undergrad degree in dietetics.

What are your favorite hobbies?

Believe it or not, I enjoy yard work and running (more accurately jogging), and through this recent bout of quarantine, I have found a new love for jigsaw puzzles.

What is your favorite quote?

One of my favorite quotes comes from Maya Angelou - "At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel."

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

My bucket list travel destinations include Italy and Santorini, Greece.

If you were to retire and work at Disney World, what would be your dream job?

I would love to be Pocahontas at Disney.

Do you have a favorite non-profit or organization that you like to volunteer for or support?

Our family supports our local food pantry, the Caring Cupboard as well at the Humane Society and the ASPCA.

What is the funniest situation you have run into while doing child-resistant adult package testing?

We always have a good laugh when one of the children we're testing mentions how much I look like their Grandma....and it's happened several times!

Kellie, thank you for sharing your story! We appreciate your giving us a peek into your life and why you are such a special member of our team!

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited?

By Mark Perkins • 10 Apr, 2024

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited? As the world leader in child-resistant and senior-friendly package testing, Bird Dog Marketing Group considers ISO 17025 accreditation an essential requirement for all testing laboratories, and this is why we choose to be audited for accreditation annually. Our global customers have the assurance that they can trust the results we provide to them on every test. What is ISO 17025 Accreditation? ISO 17025 accreditation, the international standard created by the International Organization for Standardization, is pivotal for testing laboratories, ensuring a globally recognized standard of quality and reliability in their management system and technical competence. It is comprised of various requirements and guidelines use by laboratory customers, regulation boards, accreditation authorities, and organizations to verify, recognize and ensure the competency impartially, and consistent operation of laboratories in their testing and calibration processes. It is particularly crucial for those offering Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ISO, and CSA child-resistant package testing services, as it validates the precision, accuracy, and consistency of our testing methods. Why ISO 17025 Accreditation Matters to Bird Dog Marketing Group? ISO 17025 accreditation not only bolsters confidence among our clients regarding the credibility of our test results, but it also aligns with testing procedures with international standards, facilitating the acceptance of test results across international borders and industries. This ensures the child-resistant package testing results BDMG completes for your company can be used for package distribution globally. Ultimately, we believe that for laboratories committed to excellence in CPSC, ISO, and CSA testing, ISO 17025 is not just a benchmark, but a necessity for ensuring quality, fostering trust, and expanding global reach. As a global leader in child-resistant package testing for over 55 years, Bird Dog Marketing Group is committed to your product’s excellence through the highest standards of testing protocols. I look forward to continuing the discussion and answering any questions you may have. ~ Mark Perkins, Co-CEO, Bird Dog Marketing Group
