DC Electronics Qualifies for Highest Aerospace Manufacturing Standards

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 26, 2010 DC Electronics today announced it has met all the requirements and passed inspection from an independent certifier to qualify for AS9100B certification.

The AS9100B standard was developed to ensure safety and reliability in an industry that demands near perfection. The tough standards demonstrate a manufacturer's commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

"This certification is really a testament to who we are and how we work," says company president, Dave Cianciulli. He adds, "It recognizes the strength and depth of the systems and people we've put in place over the last thirty years."

The new registration puts DC in a class above, enabling the company to meet strict production standards set by the military and aerospace industry. Director of Quality, Leonard Martinez, says, "We've upgraded our skill sets across the board. Workmanship and soldering techniques are now Class 3. Overlapping Six Sigma processes ensure defect detection happens fast. From process mapping to risk analysis, the new systems really increase our capabilities."

DC's Sales VP, Bryan McCreedy, says the AS9100B certification will reassure customers. "It shows DC has the ability to serve very demanding industries. We know how to solve complex problems. If we couldn't, we wouldn't meet the AS9100 standards."
