Elan Technology’s manufacturing facility was constructed in Midway, Georgia, in 1997 and has a 90,000 sq. ft. footprint on 22 acres.

As glass and ceramics manufacturers of advanced ceramics and technical glass, Elan Technology always strives to provide our customers with the highest quality products by adhering to our quality management system. Third party assessment and registration reliably demonstrates to customers that proper quality policies and procedures are in place and utilized effectively. Since 1998, when we were first registered under the QS-9000 standard, we have continued to develop and improve our quality system.

We were registered under ISO/TS 16949 quality standard, which replaced QS-9000, from 2005 to 2018. Just as QS-9000 was, this standard is based on ISO 9001 and includes specific requirements related to the automotive industry.
As our businesses have evolved, we are pleased to announce that we have transitioned to ISO 9001:2015.
