Hardide aims high for prestigious Nadcap approval
Hardide Coatings Limited, the UK operating company of Hardide
plc (AIM: HDD), the provider of advanced surface coating
technology, has begun a programme of work aimed at securing the
aerospace industry's prestigious Nadcap approval within the next 18
months.
The accreditation will take Hardide Coatings' systems and
processes beyond those required of the currently held AS 9100 Rev C
and will place the company in the top tier of global aerospace
suppliers for manufacturing quality.
Nadcap (formerly the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors
Accreditation Program) is a globally recognised awardmanaged by the
aerospace and defence industries to recognise excellence in
manufacturing quality products through superior processes.
Increasingly, it is being seen as a mandatory requirement for key
suppliers to aerospace OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).
Philip Kirkham, CEO of Hardide plc said: "We have products in
development and testing with several of the biggest names in the
aerospace industry and while we are not currently required to have
Nadcap, we want to be Nadcap-accredited at the earliest opportunity
as this further enhances our reputation with customers by bringing
our quality systems and controls to what will be world class
levels."
The programme of work leading to accreditation is expected to be
completed by the end of 2014 and forms one of a range of
preparations for future aerospace business.
