Major benefits to the USG cooperation include conducting parts inspections and assuring the finished goods are composed of the correct components with fit/finish and function all under our control. Arcadia takes QC a step further with in house 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machine centers as well as the horizontal lathes. These resources further expand Arcadia’s ability to bring sub-contracting needs into our facilities core.
