History

HQTS, originally a third-party inspection company focused solely on quality inspections, has become one of the leading companies in offering TIC customisable and technical services globally.

HQTS was founded in 1987 as a division of the Fujian Inspection and Research Institute (FCII) for product quality, handling the contracted quality control inspection work, for both domestic and foreign businesses, on behalf of FCII. The company spun off as a separate wholly owned company in 1995 and transitioned from being a company solely providing sub-contracting services to being a direct provider.

The company´s growth has ever since been exponential. Today, HQTS has over 25 offices across the globe and has significantly expanded its service portfolio. We are proud to complete thousands of supply chain management services for our clients every month.
