CLAMPCO NEWS

AS9100 is the international Quality Management System standard for the Aviation, Space and Defense industry. Clampco is excited to have achieved this certification in August 2019 after a significant auditing process.This accreditation is a start to talking with aerospace manufacturers and distributors to supply them with a Clampco product. In many cases, depending on the application, we may also have to qualify or become certified to supply a clamp or component on a particular aircraft platform or part print.

Breaking into the aerospace markets will be a process and won’t happen overnight. This market, however, does fit very well with our core strengths in making engineered clamps and straps for specific applications in low- to mid-volume quantities. This is what Clampco has done well for the past 48 years and from what we have seen and been told, the profit margins for aerospace components are very good.

The potential customer base that we met and followed up with in Paris was very pleased that we decided to pursue this market and achieved our certification. We look forward to working with those potential customers we met at the recent Paris Air Show and expanding our business into this new and exciting market.
