Quality

We stock only PRIME quality materials. Fully-traceable, actual Mill Test Certifications are provided with your shipment, not in-house prepared certifications. We maintain our Mill Test Certifications electronically for an indefinite period of time. Our high-strength, corrosion resistant products meet or exceed the latest ASTM specification, which requires a minimum of 6.0 Atmosphere Corrosion Index. Our Quality Control Program states our commitment to our customers to supply fully-traceable and mill-certified material. It also details the procedures we follow to ensure we maintain complete material traceability. Our entire inventory is maintained indoors in over 125,000 square feet of warehouse facility. Please review excerpts taken from our Statement of Policy regarding quality control that are provided below. A complete non-controlled copy of our quality control manual is available for our customers review.
