Teckrez, LLC is committed to supply products to customers in-specification, on-time, in-full at agreed pricing.

Teckrez, LLC has established a Quality Management System and is committed to the effective implementation of this QMS.

There are four major elements to our Quality Management System:

Quality Policy

A statement of our commitment to meeting agreed customer requirements to achieve customer satisfaction, and to exceed customer expectations if possible.

Processes and Procedures

Processes, procedures and supporting documentation have been identified and prepared to define responsibilities within our organization for each part of the process, and are consistently followed to fulfil these commitments.

Assessment Criteria

To reliably source and supply the products and services that Teckrez has agreed to provide its customers, we have established specific criteria for supplier approval, product technology and quality, customer qualification and other necessary qualifications. Via the identification, acquisition and development of data from supplier-partners we will achieve the quality required by our customers.

Continuous Improvement

Through non-conformance reporting and investigation we are committed to ongoing improvement in the quality of our products and services. Our Quality Management System is designed to achieve customer satisfaction by preventing non-conformity at all stages, from production/ordering through delivery/servicing.
