Keystone Powdered Metal Company is devoted to maintaining a culture of placing Safety and Quality above all else. We firmly believe that by committing to exemplary quality, we offer our customers a value added experience.
As an IATF 16949 certified organization, we use these established guidelines to develop the framework for our quality system. By using a strong quality system that is fundamentally structured on process control and continuous improvement, the product our customers receive can be relied upon on a daily basis.
We continually strive to improve our statistical process control along with the implementation of stringent quality control standards. In addition, we apply advanced automated inspection technology when process capability cannot be guaranteed to protect our customers from suspect material flow out.
The most important commitment comes from the people making our product. You will find that the employees at KPMC, from management to the newest associate in production, take pride in exceeding our customer's quality expectations.
