	SOLAS's R&D teams combine propeller theory, quantitative data analysis, and realistic Field testing technologies to design world class watercraft propellers. With superior CAD, CAM and CAE capabilities, SOLAS now can manufacture products that completely satisfy every customer requirement.
	These outstanding R&D and production technologies are the basis on which SOLAS has become the most well known brand in the industry.

QA / QC

Controlling Every Aspect of Quality

SOLAS aluminum alloy propellers surpass regular stainless steel propellers in terms of thinness, corrosion resistance, and quality. SOLAS has become the world's leading brand of stainless steel and aluminum propellers. Numerous tests conducted by major media authorities have proven that SOLAS propellers stand up to collisions better than the competitors', and that long-term durability studies have shown that SOLAS propellers' resistance against rust and corrosion outperforms all the others in their class.

We have been always instilling a high level of quality consciousness in all of our employees, and each employee helps ensure the quality of our products. This not only helps reduce personnel costs, but more directly improves progress and reduces inventory space through on-site raw material inspection. Inspections are carried out in the most meticulous manner, from material receiving through processing to finished product shipment. SOLAS has also installed analysis equipments to assist the inspection and testing process, including composition tester, hardness tester, CMM systems, salt spray testing machine, rubber torque tester, and dynamic balance machine.We combine these standard quality inspection procedures with data analysis to improve product design and production processes, therefore increasing customer satisfaction.

In 1994, SOLAS was granted ISO-9002 certification from BSI, the UK certification authority. In May of 2003, SOLAS was awarded ISO-9001 certification (2000AD version). In 2021, Solas was further certified with ISO 14001, international standard of the environmental management system. These quality certifications serve as strong evidence of our commitment to continuous quality improvements and service.
