Merit Brass is the nation's leading supplier of flow control piping connections. We are a pipe nipple manufacturer and master distributor committed to:
Each stainless steel pipe and pipe nipple is inspected through PMI (Positive Metal Identification) with great attention to detail. Merit's die-stamping equipment gives our stainless steel pipe nipples complete and accurate traceability.
Our crating & tubing capabilities provide additional safety measurements for the transport of your pipe. Merit Brass also offers regular WOW (Warehouse on Wheels) flatbed runs to quickly and safely deliver your pipe requirement to your dock.
Built on a foundation of quality and integrity, Merit Brass places tremendous value in our vendor process. Merit's vendors undergo an extensive quality assurance audit as part of our commitment to sustainability within piping infrastructures. Our executive leaders perform regular annual visits with our suppliers to review our current performance and strategize ways in which we can further partner for success.
We position ourselves with long-term vendor partners because of their commitment to quality and innovation. Merit's success is a result of strategically aligned supply chain partners that are committed to transparent communication and an ability to react to your changing PVF needs.
Quality program investments demonstrate a company's commitment to longevity and continuous improvement that results in efficient responses to your needs. In 1996, Merit Brass registered our Quality Management System (QMS) to the ISO 9001 standard. We continue to maintain our registered quality system as the ISO standards evolve.
In July 2018, Merit was certified to the 2015 standard. Throughout Merit's history of involvement in the ISO standards, our teams have dedicated themselves to process improvements with the ease of doing business with their department, co-workers, and you in mind.
