Plexus centre has achieved AS9100 certification

Businesses that operate within the highly regulated aerospace and defence industry demand the highest quality standards when designing and manufacturing their products. Achieving this certification is a reflection of the superior capabilities of an electronics design, manufacturing and aftermarket services provider like Plexus. The AS9100 QMS is widely used to drive continuous product and process improvements within the industry.

“This is a noteworthy milestone for Plexus. This achievement demonstrates our continued commitment to providing high quality engineering solutions with our talented design team here in the EMEA region,” commented Oliver Mihm, Plexus Regional President in EMEA.

“Many companies in the aerospace and defence industry have attained AS9100 certification for their manufacturing processes; however, achieving it for engineering services is not yet standard practice. Achieving AS9100 certification for our Livingston Design Centre strengthens our competitive position in Europe and enables our aerospace and defence customers to take advantage of our full Product Realization Value Stream of services.”

“We are extremely proud of this accomplishment as we continue to identify new ways to meet the demands of our customers in the aerospace and defence industry," added Dan Lewis, Vice President, Defence/Security/Aerospace Market Sector, Plexus. “The AS9100 certification aligns with our strategy to continue to expand our aerospace and defence business within the region and confirms that our engineering processes in EMEA can meet the most stringent of quality requirements.”

This is the second Plexus design centre to be awarded the certification, with the design centre in Neenah, Wisconsin achieving the certification in October 2014. The certificate complements the AS9100 certification for manufacturing solutions already attained at many of Plexus’ manufacturing facilities in the America, European and Asia-Pacific regions.
