Quality Counts Always
Quality Standards
Durham Precision Engineering has always placed a high level of emphasis on quality, from the way we deal with our clients to the manufacture of their items.
In 1991 we were one of the first toolmaking companies to be successfully assessed to BS 5750 part 2, thanks to our systems and procedures that were already in place.
We now hold ISO 9001:2008, which covers all of our manufacturing and design processes.
We believe strongly in continuous improvement which is why are always looking to develop our manufacturing methods and processes.
This is done by continual investment in systems, machinery and the training of our staff.
