is the DNA of the company. It is part of our
culture,” D ziel said.
Despite being well-established in the field,
the challenges continue. Like most indus-
tries, global competition is a challenge for
Cordé Électrique. But the company has
a few tricks up its sleeve. Even though
it is a relatively small business, Cordé is
equipped like a large company, which gives
it a competitive edge. “We are constantly
investing in technology to stay at the fore-
front in our industry. It is with this in mind
that we have acquired a quality laboratory
for crimping,” D ziel said. This laboratory
allows Cordé to ensure a high level of qual-
ity control for its customers. The company
is now in a position to expand across Can-
ada and into the United States.
Presently, Cordé Électrique is in the pro-
cessing of implementing the TS 16949
quality standard, a demanding version
of the ISO 9001 standard that is specific
to the automotive industry. According to
D ziel, this standard is structured to limit
or possibly eliminate the risks of products
that are delivered in bulk.
“Cord Électrique wants to differentiate it-
self by adopting innovative tools and work-
ing with techniques used by large compa-
nies to remain efficient,” D ziel said.
