Simply put, if your equipment doesn't conform during the design or evaluation process we help you resolve it for a positive outcome and evaluation which accelerates your time to market. One of the companies that we worked with had been working for 14 months with a large test lab and with much frustration and no result. They came to HTDS...we helped them increased their revenues by 80% by completing their CE mark in less than 20 business days.

About HTDS Values
People
Us, our team, our families, our client's families and the greater community are our key focus. Our primary goal is taking care of people, and keeping people safe, while still getting their equipment to market as rapidly as possible and keeping them in a growing business.
Integrity
We will be straight with you and tell you the facts about the process and evaluations and how to get it done. On a regular basis, we reduce the scope of projects, thereby reducing the income we generate on a per project basis. However, when we're effective with your programs, you’ll come back for more work. We still have our first customer from 1997 and continue to do projects for them on a quarterly basis. Integrity is the basis of all relationships and is key to taking care of people and our business.
