Prototron Circuits announced recently that their Tucson, Arizona facility has achieved AS9100 Rev D qualification.
AS9100 is the internationally recognized quality management system standard specific to the aerospace, aviation, and defense industries. This standard is strongly supported and adhered to by major aerospace OEMs and is being required by vendors within the supply chain on an increasing basis.
Kim O’Neil, General Manager of the Prototron Tucson Facility, said, “We are very proud of our team here in Tucson. They literally spent many hours working on this qualification and I wish I could recognize each one of our team members for the effort that they made to accomplish this goal.”
When making the announcement, President and CEO Dave Ryder said, “Earning our AS9100 qualification is another indication of the great work that our team in Tucson has been doing especially the past few years. This on the tail of earning their MIL-PRF-55110/MIL-PRF-31032 earlier this year is a true indication of the kind of time and dedication our entire Tucson team has devoted towards the becoming a world class PCB facility.”
