AS9100 is coming to Micro Metalsmiths Ltd

Micro Metalsmiths Ltd have just had the 2nd assesment completed in gaining the certification for AS9100.

The Foundry and the Machine shop have both been completed in 2 full days of premilary audits and 4 minor discrepancies were identified in the foundry. These have been corrected instantly and the full audit is booked for the 21st September, which from the comments of the Auditors appointed by Lloyds the company will pass with ease.

Micro Metalsmiths decided to move forward in gaining this quality standard after consultation with the customers and the demands being made on them by as part of thier supplier agreements. Always a forward thinking company the mission was started in January of 2010 and will reach it's target on schedule.

The company has always been known the quailty of the parts manufactured for Aerospace, Defence and Specialised equipment manufacturing. However as the company ambitions are realised the introduction of this system was essential.
