23 February 2011 – Thrace-LINQ, a supplier of woven and nonwoven geosynthetic technical fabrics, announces the expansion of its Quality Assurance Department to include Process Improvement, ensuring the control of all manufacturing processes and the highest quality products for its customers.
Leading the Process Improvement team is James H. Brown, quality assurance manager. With more than 15 years of Quality experience, he has served Thrace-LINQ since 2008 as the technical support liaison between the plant facility and various corporate support groups. Brown will continue to lead the Quality Assurance Department and will oversee all Process Improvement activities, including introducing new processes, satisfying customer demands, and achieving technical specification compliance.
