Quality

All of the products manufactured in our facility UK go through several stages of quality inspection, including a first-off inspection at the start of production, in-process inspection while work continues, and final inspection when a job is complete.  Our inspection team is the final stop before product is ready to be shipped to customers.

As part of our continual improvement, we are always assessing our practices and implementing new measures for increasing quality and efficiency.  This ensures that we can provide the best service possible to our customers. We hold several industry approvals that demonstrate our commitment to quality and process control across all levels.

  • AS9100D certification, meaning that we are equipped to deal with the stringent quality demands of the aerospace, defence and security industries
  • UL approval, allowing us to offer complete traceability on all of the wiring and components used in the manufacture of our cable assemblies
  • ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification
