Steve Norman, Group Commercial & Divisional Director at the Anochrome Group, said: “I am delighted that Anotec has received the JOSCAR accreditation as we continue to grow our influence in this key area.

“In both aerospace and defence, equipment must withstand extremes such as huge temperature ranges, altitude, saltwater, sand and constant vibration.

“We are already a trusted partner to the defence sector, supporting OEMs, Tier suppliers and engineering teams with coating and fastening solutions that deliver long-term durability, reduced maintenance and guaranteed performance even in the harshest conditions.

“We would be delighted to speak to engineers to see how we can help them with their requirements.”

Anotec offers a comprehensive range of advanced surface treatments tailored for aerospace and defence, including zinc flake coatings, anodising conversion, passivating, powder coatings and thermal diffusion.

JOSCAR is run by Hellios Information, a company that specialises in managing supplier data for assurance.

The collaborative platform centralises supplier pre-qualification and compliance data so that buying organisations have more information immediately available to them.

For suppliers, JOSCAR reduces the burden of answering multiple questionnaires for different buyers.
