QUALITY IN EVERYTHING WE DO

Comparable to a brake's function on a motor, quality starts and stops with each component involved. Our people, equipment and systems are all aligned to manufacture products to meet our customers’ specifications every time an order is placed.

Additionally, Stearns has been a leader in securing the certification of independent regulatory agencies and has been ISO-9001 certified since 1995.
