ProSono has implemented a very tight quality process that starts in the forestry operation and not at the entrance of our saw mill. Our presence on the spot and the continuous supervision by knowledgeable, trained and motivated personnel is the only way to achieve consistency of results in African field conditions.
In the factory, the operation is planned and checked up for best results and quality. All the parts are checked at the time of storage and again at the time of packing.
