The Wiring Harness Manufacturer’s Association (WHMA) is now providing Spanish speakers quick and convenient language access through a new Spanish-language website at www.whma.org. With the launch of this new site, WHMA is now able to provide important industry information directly to Spanish-speaking professionals.
WHMA is the ONLY global trade association exclusively representing the cable and wire harness manufacturing industry including manufacturers, their suppliers and customers. WHMA, with IPC, has created the only industry-consensus standard for Requirements and Acceptance of Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies, IPC/WHMA-A-620. This standard is used worldwide and is provided in many different languages including Spanish.
“WHMA/IPC is committed to providing our Spanish visitors with in-language content, and we are passionate on our commitment to be a global organization. Having a Spanish-language website is making this a reality,” said David Bergman, WHMA executive director.
The new Spanish website contains the exact same educational content as the English-language website and includes links to WHMA’s manufacturer and supplier members, pertinent information and events.
