Optimas Solutions completed IATF certification for its global operations by adding facilities in India, Mexicali, Mexico, and Lockbourne, OH.

Issued by the International Automotive Task Force, the certification represents the highest level of quality assurance in the automotive industry.

The achievement provides opportunities to secure new business.

“We are one of very few fastener suppliers and manufacturers that have IATF registration, which is well recognized outside of the automotive industry as a premiere level of quality assurance,” stated CEO Marc Strandquist.

Optimas was formed in 2015 when New York private equity firm American Industrial Partners acquired Anixter’s OEM Supply Fasteners division at auction for $380 million cash.

Glenview, IL-based Optimas provides fasteners and c-class components and services to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the automotive, agricultural, and medical equipment markets.  The company has 1,600 employees in 16 countries, and manufactures in Illinois and the UK.  Web: Optimas.com
