Imagineering Finishing Technologies (IFT) has been recognized for its dedication to the NASA Space Launch System (SLS), Orion spacecraft and Exploration Ground Systems programs that support the Artemis missions. Joining IFT senior management and employees to celebrate the successful first launch of the Artemis I mission was leadership from NASA, Lockheed Martin and Boeing as well as other key suppliers and partners.

The award and banner presentation were made at IFT’s Emerson Avenue, Indianapolis, operation, which is AS9100 certified for electroless nickel processing. The facility is NADCAP accredited for its advanced nondestructive testing and inspection services (NDT) department.

“I’m proud of our team members who are trained to serve as boots on the plant floor for our customers to execute their critical requirements related to metal finishing and testing,” says Jim Hammer, CEO of Imagineering Finishing Technologies. “The process specifications require strict compliance and precise workmanship from the IFT team, and we have earned their trust and appreciate today's recognition from the Artemis mission leaders.”

IFT has been a part of NASA’s space program over the last 10 years. Since the first project, IFT has processed hundreds of large components for NASA’s SLS platform. In 2018, the company was recognized by NASA as an appreciated supplier for its support of the SLS.
