In our inception,
Pioneer's success is mostly due to its reliability and responsive
business practices. By engaging with the customer early in
the product development cycle, Pioneer's engineering and management
teams have assisted its customers in every phase including,
product design and material exploration. Rapid prototyping,
qualification and responsive process management ensure fast
manufacturability and high quality for each product we produce.
More than 20 dedicated CAD/CAM technicians
and engineering personnel utilizing multiple systems with
the latest hardware and software technologies are committed
to delivering optimum results with every project Pioneer undertakes.
Pioneer also leverages state-of-the-art automated assembly
solutions to maximize productivity and reduce redundancies.
A core component to Pioneer's identity is
its emphasis on quality control where it emphasizes SPC integration
and programmable vision systems for automated part inspection.
Critically, Pioneer follows stringent process controls with
detailed IQ, OQ and PQ procedures that in some cases, exceed
its ISO 9001:2000 requirements.
