Formex Industries holds numerous certificates and qualifications that are an assurance of quality to our customers. One of the certifications Formex holds is the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) 16949:2016 – one of the automotive industry’s most widely-used international standards for quality management.
The IATF 16949:2016 certification is awarded to innovative companies with a strong customer-centric orientation. It was originally created in 1999 by the IATF in order to harmonise the various assessment and certification systems for the automotive sector around the world. IATF 16949 introduced a common set of methods for developing global automotive manufacturing processes.
On 3 October 2016, the IATF published the latest revisions for the 16949 certification which superseded and replaced all previous versions. Formex Industries was the first company in South Africa to transition to the IATF certification. See our IATF 16949:2016 certification below:
