Manufacturing

Research and Development

Our employees have been actively working with both military and commercial personnel in research and development projects for new product lines.

ISO COMPLIANCE

Our organization has been certified as ISO Compliant by the Department of Defense. This quality assessment of our entire manufacturing process is required for us to continue as a Federal Government contractor.

Victoria and Farmville are currently on ARP ( Alternate Release Program) which means our plants have met certain quality criteria. Our Quality Assurance Rpresentatives are no longer required to come into the plant on a weekly basis to check quality. STEPS is allowed to ship without the QAR being on premises. The QAR is notified of each shipment, and does sign our invoices for payment.
