Pull-tested. Lot-traced.
No marketing math.

Every batch leaves Tacoma with a pull-test certificate. Every claim on a spec sheet is backed by the lot it shipped from. We publish the numbers we'd be willing to accept on a job.

  • Lot-level traceability

    Every coil ships with the pull-test number it was destructively sampled against.

  • In-house engineering desk

    Talk to a working rigger. Splices, terminations, design factors reviewed before the order ships.

  • ISO 9001 + MIL-DTL audited

    Quality system audited annually. Defense lines compliant with MIL-DTL-43511.
