For this purpose, HIGER has been actively researching and developing as well as importing cutting-edge technologies in order to enhance product development mechanisms and establish an advanced customer-oriented R&D process.
Because quality is not negotiable, HIGER has strictly implemented the quality standards of the national CCC certification, ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001. HIGER has established strict regulations on the screening, assessment and verification of suppliers, with all the spare parts coming from reliable advanced enterprises, both domestic and international.
