The company achieved recertification to ISO/TS 16949:2002 and UNI EN 9001:2000. Both UNI EN 9001:2000 and ISO/TS 16949:2002 quality management system requirements are coupled together for use in the automotive supply chain.
“Achieving ISO/ TS 16949:2002 registration is a fundamental part of doing good business and essential to supply our OE and replacement tire customers,” said Andrew Kearton, vice president of manufacturing and OE sales for PTNA. “This recertification demonstrates our commitment to maintain our established quality levels, and importantly, to continuously improve activities throughout all functions of Pirelli Tire.” (Tire Review/Akron)
