Quality Assurance in Quality Audits

Just promising a potential customer quality doesn’t always get the job done. Occasionally we have potential clients who audit our facility in advance of committing to Keats. While this kind of test might be worrisome for our competitors, we welcome them without reservation. Our secret? Something we like to call our “mature quality system”. At the heart of this unique quality system is a mature staff that has a long and prestigious record of accomplishment, including a quality manager that has been with Keats for 12 years.

Since we have always believed that quality people make quality products, we’ve never been intimidated by outside quality audits. We keep our work environment clean and welcoming, and our technology and equipment up-to-date. A dirty shop floor is more than just an eyesore, it is a sign that you don’t really care about quality, your employees, or your customers.  That is why you can walk into any Keats facility and immediately see that we are serious about cleanliness and quality.

If you choose to work with Keats, we want you to be completely satisfied. We stand behind our people, our products, and our facilities 100%. If you demand the highest level of quality for your custom metal stampings and wire forms, Keats is the right place to come. You can even come by and kick the tires! We don’t mind.

DIY Metal Stamping

Recently we have noticed an exciting and interesting new trend: the idea of Do-It-Yourself (DIY) home metal stamping. Aimed mostly at jewelry makers and artists, companies are selling kits that allow people to design and manufacture small metal stampings all in the comfort of their own homes. Before the Industrial Revolution DIY was the only way to do metal stamping, but since then most people have relied on companies like Keats to handle the intricacies of metal stamping.

For us the idea of DIY metal stamping is good thing, because it introduces and familiarizes people with the core of our business. Of course, if you can make a nice piece of jewelry at home, just imagine what the experts at Keats can do for you. Our precision, industry leading four-slide, deep drawn stamping, and progressive die stamping capabilities, are all perfectly suited for all your production-quality jewelry manufacturing needs. With outstanding design flexibility and the ability to maximize the use of each piece of pre-patterned and coated metal sheet metal, we turn your ideas into high-quality products. Our methods are fast, reliable, and multi-functional and we have a great selection of secondary services.

If you are looking to turn your small jewelry making business into something more, then you might want to consider entrusting your metal stamping to Keats. We treat all of our customers like family, so you know your dreams and art will be in caring and expert hands.
