ISO/TS 16949 Quality management system

for the automobile industry

As one of the first German companies within our branch we have been certified according to the latest quality assurance standard of the automobile industry, ISO/TS 16949. Thus, we have been attested with the highest attainable worldwide quality standard.

This certificate according to ISO/TS 16949 supplements our quality assurance system as described in DIN/ISO 9001/9002, which we established many years ago. Our decision to obtain quality certification is based on the fact that for a producing company independent quality assurance is almost a predetermined prerequisite. In this regard, the ISO/TS 16949 was considered to be the ideal level of measure because the quality assurance standard is not, as in the case of other previously used standards, restricted to manufacturing and examination aspects of our products. In essence, it forms a complete industrial basis including the management system, technology, competitiveness as well as labour and environmental protection, thus providing a critical examination and evaluation.

Our successful acquisition of the certification according to ISO/TS 16949 increases our productivity and potential to implement customer requirements in a qualitative and effective fashion. We review our customer orientation not only by keeping close touch with their needs but also by evaluating customer satisfaction and the relationship between customers and suppliers within our company. Setting benchmarks and optimising internal processes are key indicators for further milestones of our success.
