“While we have always valued precision and quality and felt that our work spoke for itself, joining the KOMET SERVICE network really brought us to the next level. However, ISO certification is the ultimate testament to our dedication to quality, and it sends a strong message to our customers and soon-to-be customers, alike,” says Adolfo Perez, President and CEO of Grinding Technology LLC. “We are the best solid carbide tool regrind shop in the south central market, and we’re open and ready to impress.”
Tom Whennen, Director of Channels at KOMET of America and Manager of KOMET SERVICE in North America, is also excited about this development, saying “While our recent growth across the continent has been stellar, we haven’t forgotten one of our core values: quality. Grinding Technology has worked very hard to earn this recognition, and they will continue to work hard to go above and beyond their customers’ expectations. Grinding Technology is the latest in an ongoing string of KOMET SERVICE Partners who have been or will soon be ISO certified. With a quality offering like KOMET SERVICE, it’s an exciting time to be involved with the solid carbide tooling industry.”
