Stainless steel is vital for the performance and reliability of diagnostic equipment, with SS 301 and SS 304 being the preferred grades highlighted Nitin Sawant, Senior Purchase Executive, Transasia Biomedicals. Quality control and sourcing strategies ensure compliance with industry standards and customer trust.
How does stainless steel contribute to the performance and durability of your key products?
Stainless steel fasteners are critical components in our products, sourced from LPS BOSAR, a reputed SS fastener manufacturer. These fasteners ensure precision and quality. Any deviation from standards affects machine functionality and overall product reliability.
What specific stainless steel grades or finishes are critical to meeting your industry’s unique requirements?
We primarily use SS 301 and SS 304 grades for our components.
How does a change in quality affect your products?
Quality deviations have severe impacts. We manufacture diagnostic and medical equipment for pathological labs and medical colleges. Compromising on quality not only affects product performance but also risks customer trust and market share. Any mismatch from specified grades leads to outright material rejection.
How do you choose your stainless steel suppliers?
We select suppliers from a pool of 3–4 ISO-certified vendors listed in our database. The process includes ISO audits and vendor evaluations by both our quality and purchase departments, based on Transition Biometrics’ standards.
How have recent tariff changes impacted your industry?
We haven’t been affected by tariff changes as our parts are sourced locally within India. As an export-oriented unit in the CIDS area, we also benefit from tax exemptions provided by the Indian government. Anything else you’d like to add about stainless steel in your work?
Stainless steel plays a major role in our sourcing strategy, particularly for fasteners. We don’t use MS (mild steel) fasteners—only stainless steel. We procure directly from manufacturers and ensure every batch comes with certifications like test certificates, certificates of acceptance, and certificates of conformity.
