“Quality
is never an accident; it is always the result
of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent
direction and skillful execution; it represents
the wise choice of many alternatives.”

Quality Assurance
At
Machine Technology, Inc., quality is our main
business principle. Each and every employee
understands that conforming to the requirements
of the customer is priority #1. If the parts
do not meet quality requirements, a low price
and on-time delivery are not as valuable.
Reputation is built on quality, and we are
proud of our reputation.
Machine Technology,
Inc. maintains continuous control over all
processes to ensure that each step, from raw
material to shipment, meets or exceeds the
quality expectations of our customers and
of our company. Certificates of Conformance,
