December 18, 2024
Amaero International Limited, based in McDonald, Tennessee, USA, has announced that it has received the Aerospace Quality Management System, AS9100D Accreditation (AS9100D) for manufacturing and testing of metal powder as well as PM-HIP production at its McDonald flagship facility.
The news follows the installation and commissioning of its new metal powder atomiser, supplied by ALD Vacuum Technology, earlier this year.
The AS9100D accreditation, an enhancement of ISO 9001, is an internationally recognised standard for quality management designed for the aerospace, defence and aviation industries. After successfully completing the audit process, Amaero demonstrated that the quality management system at its flagship Tennessee facility delivers high quality, reliability and safety in its products. It signifies that the systems, processes and procedures meet rigorous requirements designed to help ensure the delivery of high-performance and safe products. Amaero was evaluated across different categories including strategic direction of the company, company leadership, quality planning, support, capital equipment and plant, performance evaluation and continuous improvement.
Hank J Holland, Amaero Chairman and CEO commented, “Amaero is committed to maintaining the highest quality standards as we aim to be a leading supplier of advanced materials and advanced manufacturing to defence, space and aerospace customers. As we commissioned the first atomiser in June, we are gratified to have achieved the AS9100D accreditation in approximately six months. The timely achievement reflects our commitment to quality standards and continuous improvement that are essential to maintain the integrity of mission-critical components. As Amaero transitions to commercialisation efforts, the AS9100D accreditation is another important milestone that positions the Company to further contribute to critical defence, space and aerospace programs while meeting the highest standards for safety, reliability and compliance.”
