A few years ago when I first started asking people to research the manufacturing plants certifications I was just about drummed out of the threads by the nay sayers.
Those that are actually familiar with large manufacturing processes know just how important certifications really are when it comes time to market their products. I’m glad to see there is more interest in just who is making our tires from over there and what kind of management and quality assurance guidelines are actually in place at those huge manufacturing facilities.
