Pirelli Tire LLC Recertified to ISO/TS 16949:2002

Pirelli Tire LLC’s Rome, Georgia facility has been recertified to ISO/TS 16949:2002 and UNI EN 9001:2000 standards. UNI EN 9001 quality system requirements form the foundation for quality management systems while ISO/TS 16949:2002 requirements are specifically geared towards the supply chain. The two standards are coupled together for use in the automotive supply chain.

“Achieving ISO/ TS 16949:2002 registration is a fundamental part of doing good business and essential to supply our original equipment (OE) and replacement tyre customers,” said Andrew Kearton, vice-president of manufacturing and OE sales at Pirelli Tire North America. “This recertification demonstrates our commitment to maintain our established quality levels, and importantly, to continuously improve activities throughout all functions of Pirelli Tire LLC.”

“Dedication and commitment are trademarks of Pirelli’s pledge to produce quality automotive tyres that will ensure Pirelli’s role as industry leaders in an era of innovative manufacturing with exceptional Customer Service,” said Pirelli’s director of quality, Marco Verzino. “Continual improvement of product quality and performance, costs and efficiency are the pillars that define our Quality Management System.”
