Flextronics receives aerospace and defence quality standard certificate

It was announced today that three Flextronics US facilities, located in Charlotte, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and Milpitas, California, have all received certification under the AS9100C aerospace and defence quality standard.

Defining the foundational requirements for the aerospace and defence industry, the AS9100C is a thorough Quality Management System which is widely recognised as the aerospace industry standard.

"Receiving the AS9100C certifications at three of our US facilities is another key milestone in our roadmap to offer a full complement of manufacturing and service options for our aerospace defence customers," said Paul Humphries, Group President of Flextronics High Reliability Solutions.

Tim Malac, Vice President of Flextronics Aerospace Defence Services said, "By earning AS9100C and other certifications, Flextronics can offer our customers the highest possible quality standards and cost structure transformation through an improved supply chain, innovation and long term strategic partnerships."

Extensive third party audits were carried out at all three facilities by TUV SUD America, Inc., a globally recognised testing, inspection and certification organisation. A variety of operations are covered by the certificate including design, services and manufacturing.
