By on June 18, 2019
Like many high-tech industries, the aerospace sector is evolving.
You have probably noticed that aviation, space and defense organizations are trending toward requiring their subcontractors and suppliers to be AS9100 certified. If your organization is still debating whether or not to embrace this change, let us offer you a couple words of advice: Do it.
When it comes to quality and regulatory requirements, trends like this typically do not reverse course. By taking the leap and becoming registered to AS9100 now, you can gain a significant advantage over competitors who have yet to make the transition.
