Our satisfied clients

testimonials

I have worked with STOQ for a number of years now and have nothing but great words for them and the team. They keep my OQ status up and current, always giving me a heads up when I have an OQ coming up for renewal. Several instances I have leaned on them for emergency situations to get on a plane with in the hour and come to site to give OQ evaluations so the job wouldn’t be delayed or to get the infrastructure back in service without compliance issues. I would recommend STOQ to anyone that has OQ covered tasks performed.

OQ Evaluation Candidate

STOQ, LLC., has been in business with us since 2013 and they are a very reliable
company to work with. If at any time we need testing at the drop of a hat or just
simply need help with anything they are always there for us.

They have always been very professional with us and informative with the new
updates that come up. I highly recommend their company to anyone who might
need this service.
