Avtron is a Cleveland, Ohio based technology leader in providing automatic test equipment, automation systems, and products to industries ranging from aviation to paper mills. Avtron specializes in product development and long term support. Our reputation is that of a State of the Art designer and manufacturer who goes to nearly any length to ensure the customer receives the value expected of us.
Financially secure and growing, Avtron has been in business continuously since 1953, and currently occupies a leadership role in those customer areas it services.
Avtron's quality system has been recognized as meeting the highest level of ISO 9000 certification. In 1998, Avtron passed the most extensive assessment possible, ISO 9001, which includes Engineering and Design in the qualification process. This assures our customers will have the highest level of quality possible. Since the entire company is regularly recertified, you know you can depend on the excellent service and value provided, as well as on the high reliability of our products.
The diversity of technologies within Avtron creates high levels of enthusiasm, growth, and responsibility among engineers. As the head of electrical engineering at Cleveland State University once said upon touring Avtron's facilities, "My graduates can see more technologies under one roof in your building than any other company that recruits in Cleveland."
It is not uncommon for engineers to be promoted and transferred to projects involving other product areas, and Avtron's engineering management attempts to ensure a high degree of synergy. For example, many reasons why Avtron's digital drive systems are reliable can be traced to money spent by both the government and aircraft manufacturers to determine how to make flying electronics reliable.
Over one third of Avtron's staff are technical personnel with four-year degrees or higher. The majority have backgrounds in electrical and mechanical engineering, electronics or computers. Their expertise includes electrical rotating machinery, power and hydraulics. Many Avtron product design engineers come from Avtron's Field Engineering Department, which provides excellent background in understanding customer needs. Others are hired directly from colleges and universities.
At Avtron, the head of quality control reports to the CEO, not to the manufacturing manager. This ensures that pressures to meet shipments do not override the organization's quality control principles, despite the tendency to do so "just this once." Quality has long been the highest priority of our company. Avtron's quality system is certified to ISO 9001 requirements.
Avtron has approximately 30 degreed field service engineers. On major systems, the same service engineers who will start-up the system in the field are charged with final testing at Avtron, developing a unique degree of familiarity.
Since Avtron systems, whether aircraft test systems or drive control systems, often involve high-tech components installed at remote customer sites, where customer maintenance personnel may not be as familiar with the equipment as Avtron personnel, Avtron has developed methods to improve reliability and ease of maintenance. In general, the most complex Avtron system can be maintained on an emergency basis by an electrician with a telephone.
