Shrader Canada has already invested over $600,000 in new equipment and additional personnel in their pursuit of Ford's quality award, and they are still striving towards Ford's TQE Award (Total Quality Excellence).

The Lao. Waste Team meets every two weeks to review operating procedures and to solve any problems which may have evolved.

Everything used by Shrader Canada is either reusable or recyclable. Theairinthemanufacturingareais even completely changed four times per day to provide a safe and secure area for the team. The exhaust fans are also tested to make sure they are in the safety regulations.

"Quality is a way of life here," says Malcolm, "our commitment to quality and customer service are inseparable driving forces behind our Corporation." Proven by the numer- ous awards behind the reception desk at the company, "our commitment to the environment is shown through achieving zero waste and no chemical by-products," says Malcolm.
