Ethical Profile

Mixed.

TechPrecision Corporation's ethical standing presents a mixed picture. While the company's Code of Ethics includes anti-corruption policies and an anonymous complaint process, and its Ranor segment holds key industry certifications, concerns arise elsewhere. Reports indicate a subsidiary, Ranor Inc., was fined $100,000 by the EPA in 2003-2004 for allegedly discharging stormwater without a permit and failing to file Toxic Release Inventory forms, with runoff containing metals exceeding benchmarks. Additionally, critics point to TechPrecision's involvement in manufacturing components for military applications, which may conflict with 'No War, No Weapons' values for some stakeholders. Current data on environmental performance, fair labor, or ethical sourcing is largely unavailable.
