GMBI receives ISO award

JAKARTA (JP): Automobile manufacturer PT General Motors Buana
Indonesia (GMBI), the Indonesian producer of Opel vehicles,
announced yesterday it has been awarded an ISO 9002 certification
for its production and service quality.

Company president Bill Botwick said the certification proves
that Opel offers an international quality standard even at a time
when the market was sluggish.

He is confident it will help GMBI win market share from
competitors who cannot offer their buyers such quality standards.

"The market is down but this is not a time to sit on our hands
waiting for something to happen. Others may be in retreat but
that is not our strategy and we have now gained a considerable
advantage over our competitors," Botwick said.

The company, a subsidiary of the giant General Motors
Corporation, began producing automobiles in Indonesia in 1994.
