Pace Industries’ Grafton Division Joins Company Stable of TS-Certified Facilities
Grafton, WI and Fayetteville, AR (PRWEB) April 01, 2014 -- Pace Industries, North America’s leading full-service aluminum, zinc and magnesium die casting company, announces that its facility located in Grafton, Wis., recently received TS-16949 certification from the International Automotive Task Force. With this certification, the Grafton Division is better positioned for opportunities to provide quality automotive parts to international auto manufacturers and suppliers.
“The TS certification has strengthened not only our quality system but our entire business,” said Tim Kaderabek, president, Pace Grafton Division. “It has improved structure and focus which enables us to better serve the automotive industry and expand our growth in other business segments.”
TS certification supports a business philosophy built around quality, efficient delivery of products and a strong overall supply chain. Certification requires a rigorous audit process that measures past manufacturing performance data and internal auditing processes to ensure facilities can deliver products that are consistently safe and meet automotive standards. In addition, TS certification leads to a more efficient supply chain with a universal management system to streamline audits, decrease delivery times and reduce costs.
According to Pace Industries CEO Scott Bull, “Pace is committed to excellence in quality workmanship, and Grafton’s TS certification is another encouraging milestone in our journey. I am very proud of the team in Grafton and appreciate the hard work and engagement required to attain this certification.”
The Grafton Division joins four other Pace facilities that feature TS certification: Pace St. Paul Division in Arden Hills, Minn.; Pace Harrison and B&C Divisions in Harrison, Ark.; and Pace Chihuahua Division in Chihuahua, Mexico.
