Within S&W’s comprehensive fabrication and assembly processes, quality control is much more than just a step during final inspection. Every member of our team adopts “quality manufacturing” as a mindset, a modus operandi that we apply to every phase of the production process.
Beyond what is required for ISO 9001:2015 certification, we implement careful quality controls and product testing protocols wherever necessary – from first article to final inspection. You can read more about some of those specific processes in our previous blog: Quality Control in Fabrication and Assembly: Ensuring Precision and Repeatability for Your Products.
However, the technology and processes that we utilize don’t paint the whole picture. Any manufacturer with the capital can come up with the tools and the basic quality procedures, but very few are backed by 75+ years of American manufacturing excellence.
With S&W Metal Products, you get a commitment to superior quality that you can truly trust.
