Press Release:
Design-driven manufacturing quality software provider expands regional presence to help manufacturers transform drawings and 3D MBD into inspection-ready quality plans in seconds
HAZLET, N.J. & UK/IRELAND — February 17, 2026 — High QA, a leading provider of design-driven manufacturing quality software, today announced a strategic expansion into the United Kingdom and Ireland, strengthening its commitment to manufacturers across the region.
The expansion enables High QA to better support organizations under increasing pressure to meet stringent quality and compliance requirements, accelerate production timelines, and collaborate across complex supply chains—without sacrificing traceability, audit readiness, security, or design intent.
High QA’s platform connects Design, Manufacturing, and Quality in a single, unified workflow aligned to master design intent across both 2D drawings and 3D model-based definition (MBD). By eliminating manual interpretation and disconnected handoffs, manufacturers establish a true single source of truth from design through inspection and final delivery.
“Expanding into the UK and Ireland is a natural next step as manufacturers continue their shift toward connected, design-driven quality,” said Ephy Torenberg, President and COO of High QA. “Our mission is to eliminate re-interpretation, dramatically reduce inspection planning time, and enable seamless collaboration—regardless of geography.”
Dedicated Regional Leadership for the UK & Ireland
To support its regional growth, High QA is investing in dedicated UK & Ireland leadership to deliver localized sales, customer support, and implementation expertise—helping manufacturers realize value quickly and scale with confidence.
