IT Forging — a name you can trust
Quality control is a vital element of IT Forging (Thailand)
Co., Ltd.’s business tradition. Transferring cutting-edge
technology from Japan, the company strictly monitors all
stages of the production process, starting from the careful
selection of raw materials and the pressing process to rust
prevention treatment, to ensure global standards of quality.
During the pressing process, the 1,500; 2,500 and 6,000-tonne
advanced press machines
are used to ensure precision dimension, hardness and the
over-all surface condition,

The company’s high standards are reflected
in IT Forging (Thailand)’s achievement of
ISO 9002, QS 9000 and ISO/TS16949 certifications, accredited
by Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI). The certificates
have given the company a competitive edge
in the world’s automotive market, while reinforcing its
leading position in the forged parts industry.
A truly green company
Industrial pollution has had an adverse impact on the
global environment, making it imperative that all companies
minimise and eliminate pollutants generated by factories.
As a responsible member of society, IT Forging (Thailand)
Co., Ltd. has taken the initiative of implementing ISO
14001 to help protect the environment. The objective is
to streamline responsible environmental management and
help improve and upgrade the company’s production processes
through various environmental preservation activities.
These include the prevention and control of oil spills,
improvements to water treatment and the achievement of
a proper waste disposal system.
The company is pleased to announce that it successfully
achieved its ISO 14001 certification from BVQI on 26 November
2003. The system has had a good impact on general staff
performance, and activities geared to conserving energy
and resources have kept operational costs low.
Towards the future
IT Forging (Thailand) Co., Ltd. is one of Thailand’s premier
producers of forged products for the automotive industry.
However, the company does not intend to rest on its
laurels and will increase its market share so as to
be able to offer its services to an even wider range
of customers across the region.
