It is a very strong performing region in the aerospace supply chain. Companies that have received SC21 Awards are seeing significant benefits and growth in business. Overall in terms of delivery performance, SC21 companies are outperforming non SC21 companies by over 30%.

The first companies on the programme that have maintained the quality standards have shown on average a 75% growth in sales.

In Spring of 2016 ADS are considering holding the SC21 Task Force in Dublin.
