Hill AeroSystems Earns AS9100 Rev C Cert

AGC Aerospace & Defense is pleased to announce that Hill AeroSystems, a member of the AGC Composites Group, has recently completed a BSI Assured Limited audit and earned the AS9100 Rev C certification, awarded for the improvement of product quality and cost reduction in the aviation and defense manufacturing industry.

The new revision to the AS9100 audit program is a strenuous assessment and evaluation process that is challenging for companies seeking the esteemed certification. Hill AeroSystems passed its audit without any findings from the auditor. The AS9100 certification recognizes the company’s strategic focus on supplier management, on-time delivery, product conformity and risk management. The quality audit was conducted by BSI Assurance Limited, a member of the BSI Group of Companies and a global provider of management systems assessment and certification solutions.

“The continuous improvement of our products, processes and quality management systems is one of our primary goals as we look to drive toward and achieve key certifications that include AS9100 Rev C,” says Heather Roodzant, Quality Assurance Specialist for Hill AeroSystems. “Obtaining this certification is our way of expressing our dedication to quality and added value to our clients.”

Steve Hill, President of Hill AeroSystems, states, “Staying focused on the customer and building high quality structural assemblies has served as the foundation of our company for over 40 years. We strive for continuous improvement in all of operations to keep pace with innovations in technologies and processes.” Hill added, “I am very proud of our team’s commitment to these values and it is an honor to be recognized in such a prestigious and tangible manner.”

The AS9100 Rev C, developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) and introduced to the aerospace and defense industry in 2009, satisfies internal, government, and regulatory requirements to improve product quality and on-time delivery of products. AS9100 Rev C requires cooperative initiatives to make significant quality improvements and cost reductions throughout the value stream.
