INSO: Exports to 25 countries attest to quality of Iranian tractors
The head of Standards of East Azarbaijan Province in northwest of Iran affirmed compliance with quality requirements and standards in the products of the Iran Tractor Manufacturing Company, also known as ITMCO, stating "Exports of these products to more than 25 countries attest to the quality of domestic production."
Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with the group managers and in response to a question about the standard status of tractors produced by the complex, the director-general, Shahram Kashani, said, "Considering the developments that have occurred in the tractor manufacturing group in recent years, the status of adherence to standard requirements in this industrial complex is good. Presence in international markets and the use of the domestically produced product in the farms of more than 25 countries worldwide serve as proof of this matter," ISNA reported.
Kashani added that accessing international and transnational markets necessitates obtaining the standards of the destination countries and regions for exported products.
"Presence in this number of markets and agricultural farms worldwide, and obtaining the prevailing standards governing them, are the result of the standardization of the country's manufactured tractors. This is a source of pride for Iran's industry and economy."
Emphasizing the participation of manufacturing units in developing national standards, Kashani added, "Producer participation in this regard paves the way for having more precise, more scientific, and more effective standards, consequently enabling the production of higher-quality products."
He stated that the Iran National Standards Organization (INSO) welcomes ITMCO's participation in setting standards for tractors and its other manufactured products, including road construction machinery.
ITMCO manufactures tractors, trucks, auto parts, and diesel engines with a main site and headquarters in Tabriz, Iran.
The Iranian Tractor Manufacturing Industrial Group is the largest producer of agricultural equipment in West Asia and has tractor assembly plants in several other countries.
