The award ceremony was held at the annual summit in Washington DC, where our Dorel Juvenile USA team proudly received the award.
“We have the trifecta on manufacturing processes: we have our manufacturing, as well as our design center, and our car seat testing in the same place, in Columbus, IN - which makes it great to create products that are just the best of the best. Our motto “Care for Precious Life” sums up what we do on a day-to-day practice in our company. We do this through meticulous testing beyond requirements. These go far beyond the standard, and we hold ourselves accountable to those as well as our suppliers. We ensure fair labour practices through an intense auditing and qualification system for our suppliers. We also audit our own factories to these standards. All of which are part of our global quality system. The icing on the cake is to leverage JPMA and the certification system they have for products. We love to do this to make sure our products remain the best of the best.” – Darrin Keiser, Vice President Engineering & Quality, Dorel Juvenile USA
