Our AS9100 certification covers the quality management system supporting our prepreg and advanced material cutting and kitting operations in Blackburn.
We prepare kits to agreed customer requirements using Zünd digital cutting technology in a dedicated ISO 8 cleanroom.
What does AS9100 certification mean for customers?
When assessing a cutting and kitting partner, manufacturers need to understand how their requirements will be documented and carried through production. AS9100 certification confirms that the quality management system behind our operations has been independently audited against the standard.
AS9100 builds on ISO 9001 with additional quality management requirements for aviation, space and defence organisations.
Advanced materials cutting and kitting for lay-up
We cut and kit prepreg and advanced materials to agreed specifications so customers can integrate externally prepared kits into their lay-up processes. We work with each customer to agree how the material should be prepared and how traceability requirements will be met.
We support manufacturers across aerospace, defence, motorsport and other high-performance applications. Through Cristex, customers can discuss both advanced material supply and how those materials need to be prepared for production.
“Getting the cleanroom up and running and making sure our processes work day to day took a real team effort. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I’m looking forward to the projects we can take on now that we’re AS9100 certified.”
Scott Singleton, Head of Operations at Cristex
