On April 1 2015, Toyota Motor Europe (TME) formally acknowledged the high quality level of ASCOMETAL® by bestowing a Certificate Of Recognition for the performance demonstrated in 2014. This is a highly sought-after accolade and the Company is delighted to be honored in such a way.
TME has a long and well-known track record for the highest expectation levels in respect of its products and each of its suppliers. Quality and Safety are viewed as absolute priorities with no room for compromise.
Whilst working for a company like TME is both an honor and a reference, it is also a real challenge.
The company is ready to help its suppliers to permanently improve product quality, perfection in manufacturing process and unrivaled Quality Assurance behaviors. Ascometal® started to supply Toyota Motor Europe forges many years ago, most notably for special long steel (SBQ) for crankshafts and con-rods. Active, intensive and pro-active interactions between Sales, QA, Production and R&D teams of the two companies has generated a long-lasting relationship which targets the best product possible.
Christophe Cornier, CEO of ASCOMETAL®, noted “it is both a privilege and an honor for the Company to receive today the 2014 Certificate Of Recognition from Toyota Motor Europe.”
Cédric Orban, Sales & Marketing Director, commented “this is a good example on how we see our role: to be the preferred supplier, the one the customer wants to work with. We are striving to make the customer’s success our business.”
Gilles Peru, the Director of Transformation, added “it is clearly the recognition of the past efforts of our teams: major On Time Delivery performance improvement, lowest ever (zero) non quality rejections levels, adaptation and training of our organization, production cost improvements….
It is also a renewed challenge for the Compnay as everyone here is now aiming at keeping this award!”
Toyota can be assured that ASCOMETAL® will continue to focus on continuous improvement of the quality of our products and production process. Needless to say this also profits all of our customers!
ASCOMETAL®’ management and team would like to thank Mr. W. Nawrocky (Purchasing), Mr. K. Luterek (Production), Mr. J. Guillaume (GM Purchasing) and Mr. J. Ledouble (Purchasing) for TME’s trust and confidence.
