Knowledge creates growth
Since 1921, Nissens has developed, manufactured, and supplied a wide range of automotive radiators, climate control products, and thermal solutions for a variety of businesses all over the world. All Nissens products and services derive from a desire to supply the optimum solution to any need. Doing this requires not only a sound knowledge of technology, possibilities, and markets, but also a continuous curiosity. Curiosity means not settling for anything but the best, thus always following new paths, developing efficient solutions, and optimizing existing products. Curiosity causes knowledge, and this knowledge is in turn utilized to create growth for both Nissens and our customers all over the world.
Knowledge creates advantages
Every single Nissens product is the result of development, testing, and evaluation, and development in one field often leads to results which can be utilized in other fields. In this way, the resulting development may lead to the optimization of both work routines, production methods, and choice of materials, and this will of course benefit our customers.
If products, accessories, or solutions are optimized, it often leads to better pricing, shorter delivery times, or other factors of importance to the customer. In this way, Nissens may achieve our goal of helping to make our customers' business even more competitive.
Quality - an established tradition
Through nearly a century, the co-operation between Nissens and customers has been based on quality. This means that customers get exactly what they need because Nissens focuses on quality, delivery security, and innovative thinking. When faced with a challenge, Nissens finds a solution and guarantees that it meets the customer's quality demands. In order to document quality, Nissens is certified according to the ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 and TS 16949 standards which emphasize continuous quality development by preventing product defects, reducing waste, and ensuring that the products comply with all given specifications.
Shape the future
Being ahead of development is important to Nissens. This makes it possible to influence the direction it takes, instead of just moving with the flow. Nissens thus continually tests new production methods and materials, evaluates work routines and technological possibilities, and constantly seeks to improve products and solutions.
This helps ensure that Nissens' customers always obtain solutions which not only comply with standards, but also ensure quality and competitive advantages in the future.
Organization
Today, Nissens is an international organisation with subsidiary companies in a number of countries throughout the world.
Nissens is organised in two divisions: Nissens Automotive and Nissens Cooling Solutions. These two divisions operate as independent companies with each their own management and an organisational structure comprising both sales, production and logistics functions.
General demands to quality control
Nissens is certified according to the ISO/TS 16949 standards, and expects suppliers to operate according to similar or better standards in order to ensure quality.
Furthermore, Nissens' suppliers should as a minimum be certified according to the most recent version of the ISO 9001, and suppliers are obliged to inform Nissens about any and every change in certifications, including new, changed, and discontinued certifications.
Nissens reserves the right to carry out audits at the suppliers' facilities, regardless of the type of certification they hold, and suppliers must also grant Nissens' customers the right to carry out audits.
Specific quality demands
Nissens' suppliers may only ship goods which are 100 % in accordance with current co-operation agreements. In the event that the supplier has reason to assume the occurrence of errors, deviations, or any other circumstances that result in products not complying with agreed standards, products may only be shipped with express written permission from Nissens. If Nissens agrees to receive the products, packaging must be marked clearly with causal information, and Nissens' dispensation number must be prominent and visible.
All control plans and inspection and test data worked out at the supplier's facilities must be kept on file for a minimum of three years.
Suppliers must always ensure traceability to the extent it is agreed upon with Nissens.
