QUALITY AT KNT
Quality is our focus.
A temperature-controlled metrology lab, a fleet of Zeiss CMMs, and in-process inspection between operations. Every part is checked against your drawing before it leaves the floor.
OUR COMMITMENT
Built into every operation,
not bolted on at the end.
At the end of production, every job receives a final inspection. Reports are available on request.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified
Quality management system covering our precision manufacturing operations.
DNV Certified
Independent third-party certification of our CMM calibration program.
Documentation on request
Inspection reports, calibration records and material certifications available on request.
QUALITY LOOP
A closed loop between the floor and the lab
