Quality Assurance &
Certified Testing
Quality Has to Be Proven — Not Promised.
An imported component is only a good value if it meets the print, specification, and performance requirements you purchased it for. Our quality program combines factory-level inspection and production controls with appropriate testing and documentation.
Material Specialist combines in-house laboratory capabilities with specialized testing support in China and the United States. We verify product quality before, during and after production, with testing tailored to the applicable specifications and customer requirements.
We make Fastener Sourcing simple
by ensuring that fasteners and hardware meet quality requirements.
Independent Testing When You Need It
When a product or application requires independent verification, we coordinate testing through qualified U.S. laboratories. Our laboratory resources include Carver Labs in El Cajon, California, when their specialized fastener testing and engineering capabilities are appropriate to the requirement.
We coordinate quality control throughout the manufacturing process, including:
- Raw-material verification
- Dimensional inspection
- Thread inspection
- Mechanical testing
- Coating and plating verification
- Lot traceability
- Packaging and labeling verification
- Final inspection
