Commitment to Quality

From the very start, Hibbing Fabricators, Inc. has been committed to quality in all facets of our business. We define "Quality" as meeting or exceeding our customer's expectations through the products and services we provide and the value we add as a trusted Partner. We recognize that commitment to the ISO standards provides a framework for our continuing quality efforts and a system to ensure on-going improvement in all business aspects to the betterment of ourselves and those we serve.

From the onset, our Quality System was and continues to be a company wide effort. With our Partners in mind, each process is formatted, documented and compared to industry and international standards. Each segment was and continues to be evaluated to ensure quality from receipt of order to our Partner's use of the product we provide. "BEST" practices are incorporated to streamline activities and ensure efficiency in all operations. Measurements are in place to track progress towards goals and training programs are established to ensure the success of our employees and customers.
