ARS's technology strategy 

• Steel: the fact that the product is of high quality and cuts well is due in particular to the good quality of the steel used by ARS Tools. ARS and steel manufacturers have developed the most efficient steel for tools. This steel must meet ARS's strictest quality standards

• Heat treatment: To guarantee the sharpness of an ARS tool, two key factors are very important. "Toughness" and "hardness". The Japanese brand has succeeded in digitally transcribing the talent and technique of an experienced master craftsman. 

• Grinding: To ensure a certain quality of their products, the ARS brand has developed internal processes and original machines to perfectly reproduce products, ensuring quality and reliability.

• Design is an important point for the brand, ergonomics is paramount to carry out work safely and effortlessly, product designs have been thought out to be economical and ergonomic, they are created by professional designers. 

Quality control

Two major quality control steps are carried out, first, machines inspect the products to avoid a decline in quality. The database is established according to quality inspection standards and analysed by computer.
