An audit covers the quality management system, production capacity, equipment, workforce, and compliance, giving you a documented basis for a long-term relationship.

Quality & Inspection

We can inspect at multiple stages: initial production, during production (in-line), and pre-shipment before the goods leave the factory.

We work with the factory to rework, replace, or renegotiate before shipment, so issues are resolved while you still have leverage.
