Quality
From receipt of a purchase order to shipment of product, STMC’s QMS drives the quality requirements of the ISO standards and other customer requirements throughout the organization.
Each product that STMC manufactures is controlled by documented methods and instructions. Compliance to part print specifications is monitored through the inspection of part and/or process related features at regular intervals during the manufacturing process.
Our Quality Assurance lab has fully automated inspection equipment with data collection providing in-process control, supporting “dock to stock” authorization from many of our customers. Our Quality Assurance technicians have the knowledge and experience to satisfy all of your unique needs.
