ASCO Engineering & Surface Technology is proud to announce that we have officially achieved AS9100D certification , marking a significant milestone in the continued development of our quality management systems and our strategic expansion into the aerospace and defence sectors. Our certified scope covers: The surface enhancement and refurbishment of customer components, utilising Thermal Spray (HVOF and Plasma), Laser Cladding (LMD), Precision Machining (Turning, Milling and Grinding), Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and Precision Inspection. For more than a decade, ASCO Engineering has supported demanding industries including oil and gas, where component integrity, reliability, traceability and consistent quality are essential. Achieving AS9100D builds on that experience and demonstrates that our systems and processes meet the rigorous quality requirements expected throughout the aviation, aerospace and defence supply chains. AS9100D is the internationally recognised Quality Management System standard for organisations operating within the aviation, space and defence industries. It incorporates the requirements of ISO 9001 while placing additional emphasis on areas such as product safety, risk management, configuration control, traceability, counterfeit-part prevention and operational performance. For ASCO, certification represents much more than the successful completion of an audit. It supports our long-term strategy to diversify into new high-integrity markets while continuing to invest in advanced engineering capabilities, including laser cladding, thermal spray coatings, precision machining, NDT and inspection . Our combination of surface engineering and precision manufacturing capabilities enables us to support both the manufacture and refurbishment of critical components, helping customers improve performance, extend component life and, where appropriate, reduce the need for complete component replacement. Achieving AS9100D reflects the commitment of the entire ASCO team and the work undertaken across the business to strengthen processes, improve controls and embed a consistent approach to quality and continual improvement. We would like to thank everyone involved in achieving this important milestone. With AS9100D certification now in place, ASCO Engineering is ready to develop new partnerships across the aerospace and defence sectors , while continuing to provide the engineering quality and reliability our existing customers have come to expect.
