Automotive Manufacturers – OEM

The automotive industry is one of the biggest economic sectors worldwide and is highly specialized in the mass production of cars and utility vehicles. In 1885, after Carl Benz invented the car, this economic sector developed rapidly. In many industrialized countries, like Germany, the Unites States, Japan, South Korea, India and China, it is one of the most important industry sectors. Since the turn of the century, the outstanding boom – except for a few interruptions – has lasted to this day.

In order to permanently meet the stringent requirements set by legislators, public authorities and customers in the international market in an effective manner, it is essential for the automotive industry to focus on quality management. Not least, the development of highly automated driving and the predictable questions of security and product liability require a systematic, risk-minimizing and state-of-the-art approach.
