Carbon nanotube (CNT) developer (Vantaa, Finland) has successfully extended its IATF 16949:2016 certification for its manufacturing facility in Vantaa, Finland. The renewed certification, awarded by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), reflects the company’s commitment to maintaining a robust quality management system in line with the requirements of the global automotive industry.
IATF 16949:2016 is a widely recognized standard for automotive quality management system, outlining best practices for ensuring consistent product quality, risk management and continuous improvement. The certification was originally granted to Canatu in 2022 and has now been extended following a comprehensive audit process. The extended certificate is valid until April 2028.
“This achievement validates our consistent focus on quality and our capability to meet the stringent demands of the automotive industry,” says Juha Kokkonen, CEO of Canatu. “It reinforces our position as a trusted partner in delivering innovative solutions.”
The IATF standard specifies requirements for Automotive QMS covering multiple themes from customer requirements, product design, process approach, production management, leadership, risk management to systematic quality thinking within the organization. Every mass production and R&D project is evaluated against the standard and customer specific requirements.
Canatu has been mass producing CNT products for the automotive industry since 2015, and for the semiconductor industry since 2021.
