- October 2005

Confidence Earned

Webster’s dictionary describes the meaning of the word confidence as trust, faith, or a feeling of assurance.

Do you have confidence when you are replacing an ignition or emission component? Are you confident the component you are using will work as well or better than the original? In today’s automotive repair world this can be a challenging problem.

Previously Airtex has earned and maintained the QS9000 certification developed by the Big Three, as well as the prestigious Ford Q-1 award. Airtex is proud to announce that we have taken our manufacturing qualifications to the highest level in automotive manufacturing by earning the ISO/TS-16949-2002 certification. This certification is required by many automobile manufacturers to remain one of their Tier 1 suppliers.

The TS-16949-2002 certification was developed by members of the IATF (International Automotive Task Force). The IATF consists of auto manufacturers BMW, Daimler Chrysler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Peugeot, Volkswagen, and several others.

The bottom line: This is all about quality assurance – the assurance you need to feel confident when you are selling or installing an Airtex product. You can be confident that you have sold your customer the best part available today.
