AIS was founded in 2000 by Brian Christensen and Rod Iverson, two seasoned QA veterans who brought with them wide-ranging expertise in a variety of manufacturing processes, with heavy experience in the castings industry.

In 2002 AIS merged with Productivity Quality Inc., a distributor of quality assurance measurement equipment and a provider of a variety of QA-related services. This marriage gave the company a new level of flexibility and helped accelerate its growth.

Today AIS has nine full-time inspectors assisted by our Customer Service manager, Rod Shadick, himself a highly experienced QA expert. In addition, we're able to draw on the engineering and programming expertise of PQI applications engineers.

We have over a million dollars worth of the latest inspection equipment; our machines have an average age of three years. See the equipment page for descriptions and capacities.

Of course, even the best people can't do the job without the right tools. And the best tools are useless in the hands of people who don't know how to use them. We operate under a simple principle: make sure you have the best people, give them the best tools and keep them up to date on the latest procedures and techniques.

The A2LA logo on your inspection certificate means that A2LA has accredited our company for technical competence in the field of dimensional inspection per ISO/IEC 17025 for the identified inspection procedure(s). Click here for details and to view our Scope of Accreditation.

One of the things that help us to go beyond our customers expectations is our relationship with the Productivity Partners.
