Erich Jaeger USA, a subsidiary of Erich Jaeger GmbH + Co. KG., announced its Piedras Negras, Mexico, manufacturing facility has been certified according to IATF 16949 specifications. IATF 16949 was developed by the International Automotive Task Force and aims to harmonize the various assessment and certification systems worldwide, the company says.
“The certification is the highest possible quality standard in the automotive industry and is an absolute prerequisite for working with major automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers,” says Terri Miller, president, Erich Jaeger USA. “This certification is a major milestone in our expansive North American growth strategy and speaks volumes to the quality of our premium sockets and cables that our Piedras Negras plant is producing for our customers.”
This facility, with over 100 employees, started operations in 2012 to specifically serve Erich Jaeger’s numerous North American customers. Since that time, the plant has experienced a steady growth through increased production capacity, introduction of new technologies and equipment, as well as continuous education programs for its employees, the company says. It currently produces numerous products for heavy-duty, automotive and agricultural customers.
