SBS becomes IATF-certified
Danish brakes manufacturer SBS Friction A/S has announced that it has achieved IATF 16949:2016 certification.
Developed by the International Automotive Task Force, IATF 16949 certification is a mandatory industry requirement that aligns automotive quality management systems throughout the world. Obtaining the IATF 16949 certification demonstrates that a company has met extensive requirements to create a process of continuous improvement with an emphasis on defect prevention and reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.
As a Tier-1 and Tier-2 supplier of high-performance brake pads for OEM and aftermarket brake pads for motorcycles, scooters and side-by-side vehicles, today the certification builds on top of the company’s already existing ISO 90001 certification and will be complementary to the ECE R90 certification.
"The certification has been implemented to improve workflow processes and confirm the brake manufacturer's continued commitment to producing best-of-industry quality brake products for OEM and aftermarket and enable expansion of its business activities therein and production efficiency," says leading Quality Manager at SBS, Gitte Hviid Larsen.
"With our ECE R90 and ISO 90001 certifications, we already work daily to ensure high quality and reliability for motorcycle riders and customers all over the world. The IATF certification is required by many industrial OEM vehicle manufacturers, and we are now in a better position to service these from the SBS production facility in Denmark, together with the rest of the Brembo Group.
