11-01 Power Spring Testing
Diverse customer needs require that Suhm be prepared to handle difficult orders, and if you don’t have a print that meets your requirements, Suhm’s highly skilled staff can create a spring to nearly any specification ranging from commercial to nuclear.
Each shop technician is trained to know the entire spring fabrication process. Quality craftmanship begins with a professional design and every spring is thoroughly inspected before being shipped. Quality is a major concern here at Suhm Spring Works, and strict ISO 9001 guidelines are enforced to ensure that every spring produced is approved by a knowledgeable Quality Assurance team. At Suhm, you can rest easy knowing full and well we can deliver, and deliver quality.
Quality assurance maintains a system that is both consistent and reliable to the needs of our customers. Our quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2008. Suhm also meets the nuclear requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, ANSI N45-2 and 10 CFR Part 21. Our “Total Quality” concept correlates with our commitment to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
