In 1990, ASA decided to build a state-of-the-art alloy wheel manufacturing
facility. Knowing the complexity and challenge this presented, ASA went to
BBS in Germany to tap the best technical knowledge in facility design,
manufacturing processes and quality controls for producing high quality
alloy wheels. Production began at the new facility in Jeywon, South Korea in
March 1992.

Their agreement with BBS, a world leader in wheel technology, engineering
and manufacturing with over two decades of success in the racing community
and the high-end aftermarket worldwide, is still in effect today. This
cooperative agreement gives ASA valuable access to technical and product
information that BBS gains from their motorsports and manufacturing
involvement.

By basing its quality standards around those used by BBS, in 1994 ASA became
one of the first alloy wheel companies to obtain ISO9001. In 1999 ASA
obtained QS9000 certification, one of the highest quality standards in the
automotive industry. (ISO9001 and QS9000 are world-recognized standards for
quality.)

These high quality standards have allowed ASA to produce over 750,000
Original Equipment wheels per year for vehicle manufacturers in Europe and
Asia. With a total capacity to produce over 1.2 million wheels per year, ASA
produces aftermarket wheels with the excess capacity and exports to 51
countries around the world.

The ASA name, Artisan Spirited Alloy, is reflected in their exotic, elegant,
and exciting wheel designs.
