Morgan gains AS9100 accreditation
Above: Morgan’s Robert Park and Alison McCay with the company’s AS9100 accreditation certificate.
The two facilities, which specialise in the production of innovative Certech sacrificial ceramic cores for use in casting and foundry-related applications, have achieved AS9100 aerospace accreditation. This standard represents official recognition of the company’s long-standing commitment to premium quality service and management, and is set to strengthen its already high standing in the global aerospace and defence marketplace.
AS9100 is the internationally-recognised quality management system for the aerospace and defence industries, and incorporates all of the ISO 9001 requirements along with other, industry-specific elements including risk management. Accreditation to AS9100 shows that a business has demonstrated effective quality management, and has minimised the risks of product failure and service mistakes. It also helps the business to establish ongoing processes and procedures concerning elements such as quality assurance, efficiency and waste reduction.
Robert Park, General Manager for the two sites, is proud of his staff and pleased their capabilities have been formally recognised in this way. "We chose to gain AS9100 accreditation to show our existing and potential customers exactly why Morgan is a great company to do business with," he explained. "All of our staff were involved in gaining this accreditation; our sites at Derby and Corby were both audited, over a total of nine days. Being accredited to AS9100 proves that our operating systems are entirely fit for purpose in the aerospace sector, which we hope - given the international recognition of AS9100 - will reassure potential clients all over the world who are aware that very specific expertise, skills, understanding and a strong commitment to quality are absolutely essential when working on defence and aerospace projects."
The sites specialise in the development of innovative materials, many of which are made into sacrificial ceramic cores for use in investment casting serving an international clientele. The resulting products include aerospace engine turbines as well as components for use in medical and automotive applications. The sites also produce a range of other ceramic casting and foundry-related products.
