SPIROL International Corporation has announced that two of its manufacturing facilities have recently been certified to IATF 16949:2016.
SPIROL Industries in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, manufactures roll formed tubular products including dowel bushings, spring dowels, ground hollow dowels, compression limiters and spacers. SPIROL International Corp in Stow, Ohio, manufactures disc springs, precision shims, custom washers and spacers. In addition to IATF 16949, SPIROL Ohio also holds AS9100 Rev D (aerospace) and NADCAP (aerospace and defense) quality system certifications.
IATF 16949 (which stands for International Automotive Task Force) supersedes ISO/TS 16949, the previous technical specification for the quality management systems of the automotive sector. The more stringent IATF 16949 is focused on achieving best practices when designing, developing, manufacturing, installing or servicing automotive products. The updated standard puts extra emphasis on risk-based thinking, process control, and product traceability, to ensure the highest quality and on time delivery for every manufactured lot and shipment. “These industry leading quality system certifications represent the ongoing commitment by the entire organisation at SPIROL to achieve high-quality, high value, flexible and responsive manufacturing and customer service,” said Ken Hagan, division president at SPIROL.
