About Us
30 Years of Quality American Manufacturing
The Samscreen Philosophy
Quality Domestic Materials…
Quality Domestic Materials…
In order to ensure consistent high-quality inputs and crucially, the consistent availability of those inputs, Samscreen maintains a supply base exclusively within North America. All of our raw materials must meet strict tolerances and pass a rigorous quality inspection before reaching the manufacturing floor. Samscreen allows only the highest quality ASTM certified North American steel to be used in our products.
Many screen manufacturers cut costs by gambling on lower quality imported raw materials, knowing that a certain percentage of that material will fail in the field. Samscreen knows that there are no short cuts when it comes to quality and we aren’t willing to gamble with your production time.
