Isuzu is renowned world-wide for its high levels of efficiency, quality and innovative production techniques, characteristics which the company also looks for in its suppliers.
As part of the selection process, Isuzu undertook a rigorous two-day quality audit of Norgren's UK fittings manufacturing facility.
Mr Hirano, a buyer for Isuzu, said: "We were impressed with the results of the audit and in some aspects found Norgren's Technology to be more advanced than that of equivalent Japanese suppliers." Norgren has over 18 years' experience in the FleetFit market, and has the capacity to supply global customers.
The company's vehicle fittings are specified by the world's leading truck manufacturers including Volvo, Sterling, General Motors and Paccar, who rely on their proven design, quality and high performance.
Gordon Scott from Norgren's Global Truck Group division said: "Norgren has the ability to supply a wide range of fittings and bespoke products for individual markets and manufacturers.".
