we remember which company Kisco disengaged themselves from; yet they speak well of QMC.

Remember also QMC has previously stated that they had met needed metrics for qds independently; but not all combined in the same dot. QMC was working on accomplishing that goal.

Given that QMC is sending out New Samples, what would the odds be that QMC had met the desired metrics for qds?

.....dk, but I'd think they'd want to send a completed product which addressed and met or exceeded mfg needs, (jmo)
