Nadcap recognizes Materion for its superior performance and
commitment to continual improvement in aerospace quality
MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Materion
Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), an advanced materials solutions provider, has
earned Nadcap Merit Status from the Performance Review Institute (PRI)
for its Lorain, Ohio plant, specifically for heat treatment and tensile
and hardness testing. Holding a Nadcap accreditation is important, and
in many cases it is required, for companies producing material or
providing services to the aerospace and defense industries.
"This achievement required the focused effort of our technical and
quality staff, as well as the commitment of our shift leaders and
operators to understand the demands of a Nadcap accredited system and to
work closely together to prepare for the audit and maintain their
contribution to the quality management system year round," said W. Glenn
Maxwell, President of Materion Performance Alloys and Composites.
Materion has held Nadcap accreditation since 2009. Having demonstrated
ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and
industry specifications, the Nadcap Heat Treat Task Group determined
that Materion earned special recognition with Merit Status. This means
that, instead of having their next Nadcap audit in twelve months,
Materion has been granted an accreditation that lasts eighteen months.
"Achieving Nadcap accreditation is not easy: it is one of the ways in
which the aerospace industry identifies those who excel at manufacturing
quality product through superior special processes. Companies such as
Materion go above and beyond achieving Nadcap accreditation to obtain
Merit Status, and they should be justifiably proud of it," said Joe
Pinto, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the
Performance Review Institute. "Benefitting from a less frequent audit
schedule reduces audit costs and associated pressures and demonstrates
the trust that the aerospace industry has in Materion, based on their
past performance in Nadcap audits. PRI is proud to support continual
improvement in the aerospace industry by helping companies such as
Materion be successful and we look forward to continuing to assist the
industry moving forward."
