Our professionals bring improved quality, greater customer satisfaction, a safer workplace, increased energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Customers
Our customers are companies interested in meeting challenges and gaining new opportunities. Their aim may be to address a short-term need: cutting costs, solving a quality issue, selecting new equipment. Or the company may already have a more strategic focus: adopting a quality system, implementing an MRP system, assessing its product line. We are committed to delivering technical assistance and training to companies of any size. Customers typically employ 50 or more workers, although we frequently work with smaller firms focused on becoming more competitive.
