- CMM measurement for dimensional verification
- XRF scanning for material and coating verification
- Documented counts, defect data, and disposition reporting

- Emergency quality spill containment
- On-site containment at your customer's plant
- Certified (green) stock tagging and suspect-lot quarantine
