Quadrant achieves industry first with AS9100C accreditation

QUADRANT Engineering Plastic Products (EPP) successfully completed the AS9100C certification for its Belgium and UK locations serving the global aerospace industry. This significant achievement makes Quadrant the first manufacturer to offer AS9100C compliant engineering plastic stock shapes, further strengthening its long-term support for customers in this sector.

AS9100C is the recent update to the widely-adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry – EN 9100. The international standard specifies the requirements for a quality management system of organizations that design, develop, produce, market or distribute products for the aerospace industry.

Certification of Quadrant’s site and Technical Center in Tielt, Belgium, and its UK Todmorden location is the latest milestone in Quadrant’s commitment to meet the sector’s increasing need for reliable quality management from its global supply chain. Quadrant develops and supplies stock shapes and machined parts from the qualified facilities. Its AS9100C registration includes design & development, manufacturing, machining, warehousing, sales, marketing and distribution of engineering plastics and components for aviation, space and defense applications.

Quadrant offers a large portfolio of engineered and high performance thermoplastics for the aerospace industry. Well recognized materials like Duratron, Fluorosint, Ketron or Techtron are the base for applications such as handles, grommets, brackets, fasteners, seals, connectors and wear parts used in hydraulics, engines and nacelles, air frame and wings, and within aircraft interiors. These products address requirements such as flame retardancy and performance under extreme temperatures, light weight, high strength to withstand shock loads, and chemical resistance.
