To ensure the quality of the castings, numerous tests are carried out on the products. Quality control is of the highest  importance to our team and the reason behind our ISO 9001:2000 certification. There are two laboratories on site, one monitors the sand while the other performs metallurgical tests including tensile strength, elongation and chemical compositions. A complete evaluation of the finished products is also performed.
