# Quality First at TFC

 AFC Europe

### AFC Europe

 maja 11, 2016

As part of our commitment to Quality, as a leader in the supply of standard and bespoke fastenings, TFC's recent enhancements in equipment and procedures has significantly increased our in-house capability and allowed us to provide product quality and customer service that exceed our customer's expectations

Having grown the business by almost 400% since 2007 our management team were keen to ensure the company maintained a first-class quality service despite the rapid growth in sales and recognised we needed to be less reliant upon third party test houses. With an increased need to verify product quality in-house we now have in place a dedicated test lab capable of providing:

¢ Product Profile

¢ Material Hardness

¢ Surface Roughness

¢ Positive Material Analysis

¢ Plating Thickness

¢ Spring Load/Deflection Characteristics

¢ Torque Testing

¢ Digital Measuring Accuracy

¢ Go/NoGo & Slip Gauging

¢ Calibrated Test Weighing

Brian Vince, TFC's Quality Manager says The significant enhancements to our equipment, procedures and personnel training has allowed us to offer a level of service not generally recognised within the fastener distributor market. We have always been proud of the reputation TFC hold with it's customers and we are determined this will be maintained and improved across all branches of our organisation
