Alps overseas bases receive ISO 14001 certification

Two overseas subsidiaries of Japan-based Alps Electric Co. Ltd have obtained the ISO-14001 certification: Dalian Alps Electronics Co. Ltd of China and the Nilai Plant of Alps Electric in Malaysia.

The ISO-14001 certifications cover all products manufactured at these bases, namely potentiometers, encoders, and automotive electronics products at Dalian; and cylinder heads, mechatronic components, tactile switches, remote controls, unit variety, and parts production at the Nilai Plant.

Alps has secured ISO 14001 certification for all its domestic business facilities and has steadily obtained ISO 14001 certification for its overseas operations, beginning with Alps Electric in Ireland in 1997, Alps Korea in 2001, Alcom Electronics in 2001, and at Wuxi Alps in 2001. With these two recent certifications, a total of eight overseas sites have now obtained certification.
