Quality
MGM’s quality policy statement is: Achieve a world-class quality standard through execution of the MGM Quality Management System.
All of us at MGM are committed to providing a continuously improving Quality Assurance Program. Our Quality Assurance Program relies on the principle that every operation needed to produce the final product is of superior value. Our QA principle is not only communicated and maintained throughout our organization but also extends to our customers and vendors. For MGM to achieve continuous quality improvement, product quality, business processes, structures, and personnel responsibility are all regularly evaluated. From procuring raw material through shipping of the final product, every step is designed to meet the benchmark of our Quality Assurance Program.
