Case Study: Materion achieves streamlined global quality and compliance with ETQ Reliance

Materion Streamlines Quality, Business Processes Across Global Sites with ETQ Reliance

Materion Corporation, a global leader in advanced materials for industries like semiconductors and aerospace, faced fragmented quality systems across 20+ sites—ranging from Lotus Notes and spreadsheets to inconsistent local processes—which made routine tasks and consolidated reporting of nonconformances and corrective actions unnecessarily complex.

Materion rolled out ETQ Reliance in an eight‑phase enterprise implementation, using out‑of‑the‑box functionality to standardize processes, centralize document, training, audit and risk management, and integrate with systems like SAP and Office 365. The centralized QMS reduced dual data entry and upgrade effort, improved ITAR/EAR export‑control compliance and risk visibility, and enabled faster issue resolution, cross‑site collaboration and continuous improvement.
