It’s everything…
For us at Simalfa it’s quite simple – quality is

or poor quality service. If they did, we would certainly
pass on the opportunity to a competitor.

Have you ever received product of poor quality and had your supplier say “It must have been a bad batch”? Well, not here… in fact, we have never had a bad batch or returned product of poor quality. We’re so confident in our quality we guarantee it. We employ the most rigorous process control in our industry. We thoroughly test each raw material to insure they meet our stringent standards before being released for use in production. Once in production, we have total traceability of each raw material to each Simalfa product being produced. All of this is done via our IT system on a real time basis. The combination of processes, technology, quality raw materials, and trained staff insures our customers receive a great value from team Simalfa.

We always guarantee a prompt and courteous follow up because its what you expect from a supplier and its what we expect of ourselves. At Simalfa it’s straightforward, we care…
