General Magnaplate (Arlington, Texas), which has a history of meeting the aerospace industry’s standards dating back to its founding, says quality is the top priority for all its processes and throughout its entire operation. The company’s most recent show of this is in achieving the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap) certification, one of the most stringent quality approvals for a surface treatment provider to achieve.

According to General Magnaplate, “While we have a long history of dedication to aerospace, defense and military customers, Nadcap recognition lets customers in every industry be certain they’re receiving the highest quality surface treatments for their parts.”

Administered by the Performance Review Institute, Nadcap is a consensus-based, technically superior conformity assessment of companies that provide special processes — such as coatings — and products for the aerospace industry. Accredited companies must undergo an audit conducted by the Performance Review Institute.

The company moved all of its processes and operations to its upgraded Texas facility, and applied for new accreditation and successfully achieved it in May of 2022.

As the company states, “We’re proud of our Nadcap accreditation, and we will continue to bolster our commitment to quality and continuous improvement by continually implementing policies and procedures that ensure the highest-quality coatings. With a dedicated quality control department responsible for meeting accreditation requirements and a new ERP system tailored for Nadcap compliance and quality assurance, we’re well-positioned to consistently deliver surface treatments that meet your quality expectations.”
