Quality & Engineering Information

Tampa Brass & Aluminum Corporation’s dedication to quality shows in every aspect of its operation. The recipient of numerous awards for quality, Tampa Brass & Aluminum Corp. has established and maintained a Quality Control/Inspection System. The system, designed to provide coverage throughout the procurement, manufacturing and processing cycle, ensures our compliance with contractual requirements as well as the full satisfaction of our customers. As of March 19, 2004 we have been certified & recertified every year to ISO Q9001-2000.

All processes begin with our sales team and engineers working with our customers to assure satisfaction in every part. We constantly upgrade our design software to maintain compatibility with industry standards.

We have adopted Pro E/M design for manufacturing software using wildfire 3 & 4 as the latest versions. This software has proven to make Tampa Brass more competitive, improve delivery and quality. We use Vericut Program simulation software, Micro-Estimating, and Solid Works 2009. Engineering at TBA helps our customers with their design for manufacturing needs. The consistency we get when we machine complex precision parts has improved our already fine reputation as a leader in our industry.
