General Magnaplate, a world leader in the science of surface enhancement for metals and other substrates, has achieved National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap) certification for its expanded Arlington, Texas facility.
Administered by the Performance Review Institute, Nadcap is a consensus-based, technically superior conformity assessment of companies that provide special processes — such as coatings — and products for the aerospace industry. Nadcap certification is one of the most stringent quality approvals for a surface treatment provider to attain.
After moving all processes and operations to its upgraded Texas facility, the company applied for new accreditation and successfully achieved it in May 2022.
“The new Nadcap accreditation is yet another affirmation of our uncompromising commitment to excellence,” says Ashley Russo, Chief Operating Officer. “Our team is always looking to further improve our processes to meet our customers’ strict expectations for quality.”
