Finest fibers
As far as its technology is concerned,
Tietex Asia’s 250,000-square-foot factory uses unique, custom-built
state-of-the-art production equipment to maintain its leadership
position in the industry. Production processes include yarn
preparation, fiber processing, fabric formation, dyeing, printing,

Multipurpose laboratory
Fully-trained laboratory technicians, and state-of-the-art
in-house capability, ensure that all fabric properties and
characteristics meet both the requirements of Tietex Asia’s
high internal standards, as well as those of its customers.
Properties such as color matching, abrasion, tensile, tear
and bursting strength, elongation, air permeability, and light
fastness are thoroughly tested to ensure that all products
meet or exceed the requirements of their intended application.
Tietex Asia’s lab equipment is constantly being upgraded as
new methods and equipment become available. With assistance
from its engineering department, Tietex Asia even has the
capability to fabricate custom test equipment and methods,
as requested by its customers.
Unquestionable quality
Quality determines a company’s success.
For a firm to thrive in the global market, it must first earn
a reputation for offering high-quality operations and services,
as well as excellent internal quality management. Throughout
the years, Tietex Asia, Ltd. has gained a reputation for this
via its exceptionally tight quality control policy. Implementation
of ISO 9001:2000 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental
systems, as well as others, underlines the company’s determination
to achieve quality excellence.
It is this appetite for perfection that has brought Tietex
Asia, Ltd. to its latest and most triumphant milestone: the
attainment of ISO/TS 16949:2002 certification.
ISO/TS16949:2002 is a globally recognized requirement that
takes quality management system certification to a new level
by aligning many existing global automotive quality requirements.
As such, it is set to be the next generation standard for
the industry, and Tietex Asia, Ltd.’s position of leadership
is affirmed by being one of the first to achieve this certification.
This new automotive standard replaces the QS 9000:1998 quality
management standard and emphasizes customer-oriented processes
designed to exceed the customer’s expectations with continual
improvement, defect prevention and reduction of inconsistencies
and waste at the supply base.
