This means that competencies and responsibilities are regulated and documented in process- and procedural instructions in a reliable and transparent manner, as are structures and workflows. Our headquarters in Erkrath as well as our production sites in Pforzheim (Weidmann), Poland and Tunisia are certified according to ISO 9001. The Erkrath site is also certified according to IATF 16949, the quality management system of the automotive industry.
