– Product development is an integral part of the design process. Our distinctive approach has this process
completed hand-in-hand with the developers. This ensures that our designs are a viable concept, before we
ever show them to a customer.

know every little detail counts and where even the smallest item can make a difference in the final product.

– We have two branches of Product Development. One in the New York Office and in China in our manufacturing
facilities.

Quality Control & Social Responsibility
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle– All of our facilities both owned and partner have “in-line” quality control.

– In-line quality control limits defects, seconds and acts as a training tool.
  • Inspection during each stage of the operation.
  • Using industry standard measurements, if bundles contain excessive defects, they are
    returned to the operator who last handled the product.
  • This ensures corrections are made at once, no additional mistakes are made and
    operators learn of errors and are immediately trained to avoid any in the future.

– We also have external quality control agents reviewing product prior to shipments. This ensures that we do not waste time or money moving product to the United States unless it meets all quality and customer expectations.
These are done by customer approved agencies like SGS and ITS; both are established core agencies in the industry.

– These same independent non-government agencies routinely inspect our facilities for Social Responsibility & Human rights compliance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
