Quality control is decentralized throughout both of our facilities, with more than 28 team members dedicated solely to quality. We establish a rigorous quality plan for every job, and ensure every part meets your quality requirements. Our main Quality Control Lab and multiple satellite quality stations are equipped with state-of-the-art technology that allows us to maintain quality at the source.
At Hobson & Motzer, quality is engineered into every part, not inspected in after the fact. That’s why—following safety—quality is the first responsibility of every Hobson & Motzer team member.

Document Control
Hobson & Motzer maintains a document control system in accordance with ISO and IATF standards. All vital data is collected, reviewed, and archived. This process includes keeping detailed records and conducting frequent audits. In-process and final inspections for every part are archived. Our digital microscope is capable of capturing the intricate details of your part, storing images, recreating them as color prints, or transmitting them by email.
Product traceability is also recorded in all our manufacturing processes and throughout the supply chain to ensure the products we manufacture are to our customers’ exact specifications. Records, as well as finished products, are retained for a minimum of 15 years. Documents and quality records can be provided as needed for client requirements.
