The Difference is Quality and Delivery

1. Quicker Delivery - Epec's technology infrastructure and people, including the Asian and US based operations and engineering teams, enable jobs to get started the same day the order data is electronically received by our factory.

2. Accurate Information - Epec's on-site personnel provide accurate daily Work In Process reports so customers can receive immediate order status information, along with in person verification of all daily reports by Epec staff.

3. Better Quality - Epec ensures higher levels of quality through three key additional processes. On-site QA inspectors at each facility provide an additional audit before it leaves Asia, Epec maintains dual UL approval at each facility with quarterly audits, and perform QA audits at our headquarters in Boston, MA.

4. Flexibility - Each of our manufacturing facilities have been selected for theirbest-in-class niche product and delivery solutions, ensuring our optimal facility is building every order.
