Five manufacturers across a variety of industries chose an SPC program from Zontec's Synergy product family during December 2009.

The companies are:

• Valley Machining, a manufacturer of precision-machined products and assemblies
• Automotive component supplier, YH America, for a second plant location using Zontec software
• Domestic Fastener & Forge, a supplier of cold-headed, hot-headed and CNC short-run fasteners
• Hamilton Company, an industry leader in the design of robotic products for fluid measuring
• Karl Storz Imaging, an international producer of medical instruments and devices

"The technology investment of all these organizations confirms the tremendous value Zontec brings to the quality assurance function from a cost-avoidance and continuous improvement perspective," says Zontec Marketing Manager Richard Morris. "Plus it indicates that industrial spending is bouncing back from the global economic crisis that has plagued manufacturers over the past couple of years. The most astute companies are realizing that they will recoup their investment very quickly and continue to reap benefits well into the future for proven solutions like Zontec."
