When one of Advanced Industrial Coatings' clients visited
its Stockton, Calif., finishing shop to see how it was coating
heart defibrillator equipment in a high-tech control room, that
customer came away more than impressed.
The super-clean and climate-controlled area that AIC uses
for most scientific applications and medical device coating was
impressive for its strict quality adherences and attention to
detail.
"The customer watched their parts being processed and
coated in the room, and they later told me they felt like we
handled their part like someone working on fine jewelry," says
Dave Arney, founder and chief operating officer.
"It was a comment we took a lot of pride in because we
handle all our customer's parts with that same precision. But it
was truly wonderful that they noticed it."
A lot of companies have noticed AIC over the years, and
several, such as Johnson & Johnson, Hewlett Packard and
Phillips Medical, have beaten a path to the company's door.
