Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 17th August 2011 - Neunkirchen am Brand in Bavaria
has been a source of axles and transmissions for construction,
forestry and agricultural applications for the last 50 years.
Neunkirchener Achsenfabrik AG (NAF) is market leader in bogie axles
and currently employs approximately 450 members of personnel in
Central Europe, Russia and North America. The majority of the
company's workforce, approximately 430 members of personnel, are
employed at the company's German plant in Neunkirchen am Brand.
Service and sales offices can also be found in Russia and North
America, with 3 employees based at each site. The company also has a
construction and development centre in Munich, which employs 14
members of personnel.

The company's turnover amounted to 92 million EUR in 2010.

NAF has extremely high quality requirements of its products. Its
axles and gears are in continuous operation across the globe, under
highly diverse climatic conditions, often 24 hours a day, all year
round. Constant use and minimal downtime ensure the high degree of
added value required by engines and machines. Where downtime does
occur, NAF immediately initiates a defect/error diagnosis and damage
analysis, along with the respective repair measures.

"We have opted for the IBS AG quality management solution in order to
further improve our products and avoid wastage and defects. IBS is
replacing the solution of a direct competitor with its holistic,
integrated quality management system that is able to fulfil all our
requirements", says Ralf Sauer, Chief Executive Officer of NAF. Mr.
Sauer believes the main benefit potentials to lie in improved quality
and lower costs. The "visualisation" and evaluation of production
data enables short reaction times and a clear reduction in cycle
times.

"NAF will profit from our long-standing market experience, which
spans almost 30 years in the field of Best Practice software
solutions for quality management. We are in the comfortable position
of being able to offer NAF an integrated solution for its
requirements", says Volker Schwickert, Executive Vice President and
Director of Sales and Marketing at IBS AG. "IBS AG's cross-company
quality management system and each of its cross-industry applications
use the latest technology to support the planning, acquisition,
documentation and evaluation of all relevant quality data - from the
product development to product manufacture and product acceptance and
test", adds Mr. Schwickert.
