HIGH SECURITY AREAS
Recognizing that development testing is usually conducted
on future product releases, VRD, Inc. provides dedicated high
security areas. In this way, the proprietary designs and intellectual
property rights of the customers are always protected. We
find the need for confidentiality compulsory. A separate,
dedicated 4,800 square foot building is available for storage
of test samples before and after testing is conducted. This
windowless building has only two entrances, a 12-foot overhead
and an adjacent service door. Only the service door is accessible
from the outside. Six-foot security fencing protects the perimeter
of the testing site.
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
VRD, Inc. has an operating philosophy which is best described
as a commitment to develop . . .
