Lot Traceability<\/h4>\n

Paulo has the most advanced data collection and automation system of any commercial heat treater. All process and testing data is captured and cataloged electronically in our <\/span>PICS system<\/span><\/a>, ready for recall within a few clicks. Also, our handling practices prevent mixed parts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n

Turnaround Times<\/h4>\n

With more manufacturers adopting just-in-time inventory models, turnaround times for processing are more important than ever. While processing times vary, we schedule strategically to shorten turnaround as much as possible and plan to anticipate rush orders.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n

Strict Specifications<\/h4>\n

Consumers rely on safety system components every time they climb into their vehicles. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve built smart, automatic process controls to ensure your parts meet specifications\u2014and we have the industry\u2019s largest in-house metallurgy team to verify results through testing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n

Certification & Approval Process<\/h4>\n

We already hold many certifications and approvals across our plant system and are well-versed in the process of obtaining them. We\u2019ve successfully expedited the PPAP process for several customers to keep their production running, and we can do the same for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
