One of Camger’s greatest strengths is the depth of our industry and technical knowledge. Amongst our technical staff, we have decades of product and process engineering experience. While many of our toll manufacturing customers have their own technical departments, Camger can provide an added dimension of support with our onsite, boots on the ground, experts. Whether it be quality control or as involved as root cause analysis with corrective action determination, both certified as part of our ISO 9001 Quality Management System, we can help!
Our testing capabilities span a variety of physical property and performance categories pertinent to coatings applications. While we don’t use test methodologies for contract-based new product development, these capabilities do help with aforementioned quality assurance, root cause analysis, and even with expanding characterization of your existing products for increased marketability. The majority of our testing capabilities are performed via ASTM industry standards. Further, Camger’s technical experts in collaboration with our customer service department can provide your business with technical support to address product related issues that may arise in the field, with your customers.

Camger’s focus on quality is number one. Quality has always been wonderful. Most important thing. We don’t want items coming back and with Camger that doesn’t happen.
