AS9100B Certification Positions North Cape Manufacturing to Supply the Aerospace Industry

SOLON, OH, August 20, 2007 – North Cape Manufacturing, an up and coming leader in 5- Axis high speed machining, has earned its AS9100B Certification, placing it in a select group of manufacturers qualified for consideration as an aerospace supplier.

Created to reduce variations in an industry dependent on safety, reliability and conformity, AS9100B certification assures that there are standards and programs in place that meet or exceed the very exacting requirements of aerospace customers and their regulatory agencies.

“This certification opens up a whole new customer segment for us,” says Mark Horner, Vice-President of Business Development. “North Cape was built on our ability to meet stringent standards, produce top quality products and provide our customers with outstanding service. AS9100B Certification confirms that we are meeting our goals.”

The Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration endorse AS9100B Certification and nearly every major aerospace prime manufacturer in the world adopts this certification. Within the aerospace industry, AS9100B Certification is becoming a prerequisite for doing business.

North Cape’s capabilities are well suited to meet the demanding needs of the aerospace industry. In addition to full house mold making and machining capabilities, complimented with in-house Injection and RIM molding, the company also offers 5-Axis machining. Five-axis machining is required for more complex and precise tooling requirements common in the field of aerospace. Since 5-Axis machining allows multiple sides of a part to be machined in a single set-up, the process also increases efficiencies.

North Cape Manufacturing is located with and jointly operated by The Technology House. The Technology House has been on the forefront in Project Management, Product Design and Development, Engineering, and Rapid Prototyping since 1996. The combined services of the two companies can provide total manufacturing from design through finished product.

North Cape Manufacturing/The Technology House are privately held companies with corporate headquarters in Solon, OH. For additional information on 5-Axis machining, please click here to view our website.
