Superior Quality Control at Praxair Surface Technologies
| The performance of your products depends on the integrity of the materials and services we provide around the world. Always mindful of this responsibility, we pride ourselves on a commitment to the highest industry standards for quality control. We build quality into processes around the globe. Controlled and standardized equipment, coating materials, and process instructions result in consistent quality coatings time after time, no matter if products are coated in the Americas, Europe, or Asia. What is quality? A quality product is something we all strive to produce, but how do we know when we accomplish this goal? How do we measure quality? |  |
|
This seems to be a simple goal, but it can be very hard to attain. It can involve many elements of our everyday work efforts. A quality product or service, produced right the first time, is our goal. Having efficient and effective processes eliminates unnecessary costs and steps, as well as supports our ability to meet your needs. When these criteria are met, we meet your expectations every time.
How is quality achieved?
In a service business such as ours, returning customer parts when promised—with the proper coating, restoration, or engraving done precisely the way you want it—is our way of earning business.
To meet all of our customers’ expectations across a business with more than 30 locations in 13 countries and across four continents requires careful attention to detail to ensure that all our facilities are working together and producing the same results. One key to obtaining and maintaining consistency in such an organization is our system of centrally controlled standard coating process and inspection requirements. These instruments of quality are controlled through industry standard quality systems. This level of control ensures that all our plants are using the same approved methods to achieve the same results, no matter if your components are serviced in the Americas, Europe, or Asia.
Certifications
