Quality

Just as innovation is designed into MSA products, quality is built in from start to finish. For MSA people, quality is a mindset and a mission; not just a slogan. Nearly all components of the company's products are formulated, machined, tooled, or molded in-house from raw materials. For example, MSA relies on its integrated manufacturing capability to produce breathing apparatus, hard hats and printed circuit boards for gas detection instruments. This means greater manufacturing control and unequaled quality assurance for safety equipment users.
