IATF 16949:2016 Certified
The automotive industry's most rigorous quality management standard
What IATF 16949 Certification Means for You
IATF 16949 is the global quality management system standard for automotive suppliers. Developed by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) in collaboration with ISO, it integrates ISO 9001 requirements with automotive-specific demands for defect prevention, supply chain management, and continuous improvement.
Our IATF 16949:2016 certification, issued by BSI (British Standards Institution) and renewed in 2024, demonstrates our commitment to zero-defect manufacturing, robust process control, and full traceability — requirements that automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers demand from their casting partners.
Key Benefits of Working with an IATF 16949 Certified Foundry:
- ✓Defect Prevention: APQP, FMEA, and control plans minimize risk of quality issues reaching production
- ✓Full Traceability: Every part tracked from raw material heat to finished casting serial number
- ✓PPAP Capability: Complete documentation packages per AIAG standards (PSW, dimensional reports, material certs, capability studies)
- ✓Continuous Improvement: Internal audits, management review, and corrective action systems ensure ongoing quality enhancement
- ✓Supplier Confidence: IATF certification accepted by all major automotive OEMs globally without additional audits
