We are incredibly proud to announce that Alfiniti Canada’s Chicoutimi facility has officially obtained its IATF 16949:2016 certification — and we think that’s worth celebrating.
For those unfamiliar with what this means, IATF 16949:2016 is the gold standard for quality management systems in the automotive industry. It is one of the most rigorous certifications a manufacturer can pursue, and earning it places Alfiniti among an elite group of suppliers trusted to meet the exacting demands of the world’s top automotive players. This isn’t just a piece of paper — it is proof of who we are and what we stand for as a company.
Getting here wasn’t easy. This certification was more than a year in the making, requiring relentless focus, meticulous process improvements, and a team willing to go the extra mile day after day. We want to take a moment to recognize two individuals whose contributions were absolutely essential to crossing this finish line: Marie-Pier Gilbert et la Janick Lajoie. Their determination, perseverance, and professionalism throughout this project have been extraordinary, and this achievement belongs to them as much as anyone.
Of course, none of this happens without an entire team behind it. To every member of the Alfiniti family who played a role in this achievement — thank you. Your commitment to quality and excellence is what makes Alfiniti the company it is today.
This certification opens exciting new doors for Alfiniti, and it is a strong foundation for everything we have planned ahead. As we like to say around here: let’s keep the momentum going!
