Certification for the automotive industry provides increased efficiency and more business

The seventh Lesjöfors Company is now certified towards the automotive industry´s quality standard ISO/TS 16949. Being certified means that the industry's stringent requirements now can be met and the business potential is already visible in the order books.

Lesjöfors Banddetaljer in Värnamo, Sweden produces stampings and strip components. The company is since a few months certified according to the automotive industry´s quality standard ISO/TS 16949. The certification process has been going on for a year in order to meet the market's increasingly tough demands on highest quality throughout the production chain.
