Especially in the automotive industry and in sensitive development and production processes, robust security and quality standards are becoming increasingly important. Customers in the automotive sector expect the protection of sensitive data. In recent months, MAPAL has systematically further developed its existing information security processes and enhanced both technical and organisational measures. The goal was to establish a consistently high and transparent level of security across the company. To this end, structures were systematically expanded, responsibilities clearly defined, and processes standardised.

With the certified TISAX Assessment Level 3, MAPAL meets key requirements of many customers in the automotive industry while also strengthening the foundation for existing and future collaborations.
 

Successful surveillance audits of the quality management system at several sites

In this context, external auditors confirmed the effectiveness and compliance of the internal quality management processes, as well as the commitment of the involved departments to continuous improvement and high quality standards.

Alexander Koschewski, Executive Vice President Strategy & Business Development at MAPAL, comments: “The successful audits confirm the consistent efforts of our teams and our commitment to the highest standards in information security, quality management, and customer-oriented processes. This further strengthens our position as a high-performance partner for our customers.”
