Qualifications

Our Qualifications

Most composite fabrication companies require outside vendors to become qualified to either their own qualifications or those of their upper-tier customers. These qualifications can be very specific and are therefore quite numerous. MachineTek has achieved qualifications and quality approvals from most Tier 1 and 2 U.S. aerospace companies. Annual audits conducted by these companies ensures MachineTek maintains the highest level of process and documentation procedures associated with these qualifications.

The following table reflects the current list of customer qualifications and approvals. We’re always willing to add to this list, so if you don’t see a required item let’s work together to achieve whatever qualifications may be necessary to support your project.
