EspañolIn today’s market, quality is not only demanded; it is expected. Producing a consistently high quality product requires continued testing from raw material, through production, to final dispatch. This multi-faceted testing approach is essential in order to guarantee the products are the standard expected and demanded by customers.
The first point of quality control is when raw material enters Stainless Bands 16,600 sq.ft. manufacturing facility through its goods inwards bay. All materials arriving from the mills are thoroughly tested at Stainless Band’s in-house multi-stage testing facility. These testing processes including hardness, tensile strength and chemical analysis ensuring the stringent quality demands put in place by Stainless Band are met before material enters the processing lines.
At processing stage, more testing takes place from measuring edge burr, thicknesses and widths to checking edge cambers and straightness. Supervisors also routinely perform spot checks assessing edge conditions, surface finishes and ensuring products are processed to match the customer’s requirements.
A final inspection is performed when processing is complete, which entails a thorough examination to ensure the products are suitable for dispatch and meet the quality requirements set by Stainless Band and the client. Following these final quality inspections, a Test Certificate is produced, which is then sent out to customers via email once the material is shipped – this provides an assurance that products meet the required specification for grade.
It’s this attention to detail and quality that has seen Stainless Band’s sales soar over recent years. It’s penetration of the global marketplace due to its friendly, multi-lingual team, consistent quality in its wide range of products and fast turnaround on orders has caused the company to make significant investments in it’s facility and people. Recent investments allow Stainless Band to store more raw materials, increase processing capabilities, streamline logistics and have increased processed stock available for shipments.
