Quality
Our Commitment to Quality
At U.S. Silica, our mission is to consistently produce the highest-quality products in the industrial minerals industry at all of our plants. Quality is an integral part of how we work and what we do. We create value for our customers by continually innovating our quality systems and processes.
Always Listening, Testing and Improving
We listen to our customers to determine where we mine, what we mine, how we process the materials, what products we develop — and even how we deliver them. An entire U.S. Silica team dedicated to quality works with our R&D teams and our plants to constantly test our incoming sand, ores and finished products. That's how we ensure that the products we ship to thousands of customers globally are always world-class quality.
