CHOCTAW, Miss. and HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Aug. 16, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Geo Technologies, Inc. (AGT) has achieved AS9100C registration, which also incorporates the requirements of ISO 9001:2008, for its Choctaw, Miss. location, validating its quality management system meets and exceeds the needs of the aviation, space and defense markets. This achievement is the latest step in AGT's continuing quality processes and goals designed to provide mission-critical products and services to its government and commercial customers.
As a provider of cabling and wiring harness engineering design and manufacturing services for more than 20 years, AS9100C registration allows AGT to expand its expertise from ground vehicles into the aerospace market, where it currently provides wiring for the Patriot missile system and small commercial aircraft.
"This achievement is a testimony to our employees' commitment for continual improvement," said David Ogg, AGT President and CEO. "Our current government and commercial customers recognize us as a quality provider of high-quality products and services, and our goal is for AGT to always be who they think of first when supplies or manufacturing services are needed."
AS9100C, developed by the International Organization for Standardization, is an internationally recognized quality standard specific to the aviation, space and defense sectors, and equips manufacturers to employ quality management system practices in customer service; product development and design; testing and production methodologies; process control; traceability; and risk mitigation, among others. Alamo Learning Systems consulted with AGT for training and process development, and the audits were conducted by ABS Quality Evaluations.
