Quality Control

TDIC is dedicated to producing the best quality product available on the market. There are several ways we go about ensuring this high standard is met.

• Maintaining and dedicating the resources to maintain the ISO 9001:2000 quality standard
• Engaging in continuous improvement activities
• Continually developing employees
• Maintaining a financially healthy company by encouraging the efficient use of resources, gaining new business and helping current customers save money
• We have been ISO:9001 certified since 1997, the first company in our industry to do so.

TDIC develops quality procedures for each product it develops to guarantee consistent product that will meet the needs for each application.

For example our automotive paint procedures include particle count testing of the Clean Room air three times a day. All woven / washable products are laundered, inspected and packaged in our Clean Room laundry. All non-woven / non-launderable products are processed in our exclusive Aero-Particulate Extractor (Patent Pending) then inspected and packaged in our Clean Room.
