Quality NDE maintains operations across Canada, with locations in Montreal, Toronto and Alberta, which allows them to offer personalized attention and efficient logistics nationwide. Participation in events such as PANNDT not only allows them to strengthen ties with their partners, but also to reinforce their commitment to service excellence.
A portfolio covering all non-destructive inspection
The company offers non-destructive testing solutions for any need, from manufacturers who need to validate the quality of their products before offering warranties, to companies specialized in inspection services.
During their participation in PANNDT, they presented a representative selection of their portfolio, including CR digital radiographic inspection systems, UV lamps for liquid penetrant testing, magnetic benches and more. Each of this equipment is aimed at improving accuracy, safety and traceability quality control processes, and respond to the demands of sectors such as aerospace, nuclear, automotive, railroads, mining, oil and gas, among others.
Technological alliances that make a difference
One of the keys to Quality NDE’s positioning in the Canadian market is its ability to establish solid alliances with manufacturers of international prestige, as reflected in its collaboration with REL, a company with which it shares space at trade fairs such as PANNDT.
REL has developed a highly resistant and waterproof UV lamp, designed for demanding industrial environments, which unlike previous models, which broke easily when dropped, this new product guarantees durability and performance, improving the safety and efficiency of the technician in the field and the company acts as representative and distributor of these solutions in Canada.
In addition, he works with brands such as Magnaflux, a specialist in magnetic particle and penetrant liquids, and Olympus, a global reference in ultrasound and eddy current equipment. This diversity of alliances allows them to offer customized solutions, without depending on a single manufacturer.
Corporate culture and service approach
QNDE not only sells products, but also calibrates, repairs and maintains equipment, as well as providing custom design solutions and financing options. This comprehensive philosophy has allowed them to position themselves as a reliable technical partner for companies of all sizes.
Certified under ISO 9001, the company maintains high standards in all its processes, ensuring traceability and regulatory compliance in every transaction, reinforcing its commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
A clear vision in a strategic sector
The interview with Eric Salvas highlights the dynamism of the non-destructive inspection sector and the essential role Quality NDE plays as a connector between innovative technologies and concrete industrial needs.
With a national network, a diverse portfolio, strategic alliances and a customer-oriented approach, the company reaffirms its leadership in the Canadian market. Their presence at events such as PANNDT 2025 confirms that, beyond selling equipment, they are committed to the development of a safer, more accurate and efficient industry.
