QM has a thirty year history of commitment to high quality engineering. In moving with technology we found the conscientious approach of our employees key to maintaining our quality and integrating new people and technologies into our operation. At QM we have a large number of loyal and trustworthy suppliers and partnerships with key companies such as our alliance with National Instruments. A decade ago we felt that we should become accredited BS5750, the forerunner to ISO9001. We will, however, never forget that working procedures are only a tool, we all remain responsible for achieving the correct results. We will continue to maintain accreditation and in January 2003 we upgraded to ISO 9001:2000.
