04 / Quality & traceability
Mil-spec experience
Decades of manufacturing to military specifications, along with the documentation those jobs require.
Material traceability
We track material and maintain the paper trail your job requires.
First Article Inspection
FAI reports available on request to verify the first part matches specification.
05 / Quantity range
Over 100,000 units a year across 300+ different parts. With material costs where they are today, one-offs and very small orders are rarely cost-effective.
