Spectrum Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Inc., an Ocutrx Company, Achieves Globally Recognized AS9100 Certification for Aerospace ManufacturingCertification Proves Spectrum's Commitment to a Consistently High Standard of Quality Across its Manufacturing Portfolio
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectrum Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. ("Spectrum"), a subsidiary of Ocutrx Technologies, Inc. ("Ocutrx") and a leader in precision electronics and assemblies manufacturing for over 25 years, today announced it has received an AS9100 certification, a prestigious recognition in aerospace manufacturing, for its Colorado Springs, Colo. factory called the Ocutrx-Spectrum Advanced Manufacturing Campus.
The AS9100 certification includes certification to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. ISO is an International Standardization Organization that sets worldwide standards and requirements for creating and maintaining a quality management and quality assurance system in the aerospace, spaceflight, and defense industries. These certifications give customers the assurance that the components Spectrum produces meet the industry's most rigorous requirements mandated by NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, and companies that build satellites, rockets, and spaceplanes. These certifications will enable Spectrum and Ocutrx to expand their manufacturing offerings for the aerospace, spaceflight, and defense industries. In today's international marketplace, such a designation validates that Spectrum adheres to quality assurance standards recognized globally.
"The AS9100 certification underscores Spectrum's dedication and unwavering commitment to continue producing and delivering the highest-reliability, never-fail precision electronic components and assemblies that we have been providing for over two decades," said Jeff Gilbert, CEO of Spectrum. "This was an extremely thorough and meticulous process, as it should be, to ensure only the highest quality manufacturers are certified. Spectrum is honored to be recognized as one."
A step above ISO 9001:2015 is AS9100:2016, a quality management system (QMS) standard for the aerospace and spaceflight sector that ensures that products align with stringent customer and regulatory requirements. Spectrum's three-plant campus in Colorado Springs underwent and passed a rigorous evaluation, quality assurance process, and audit to earn this certification. Spectrum collaborated with EAGLE Registrations Inc., an accredited quality and environmental registration agency, to secure the certification.
"Achieving the AS9100 certification required a lot of hard work from the team, but it is well worth it," said Michael Freeman, Ocutrx CEO, and Executive Chairman of Spectrum. "My congratulations to Jeff Gilbert and the entire Spectrum team for achieving this milestone which will provide us a competitive advantage in the market, ensure customer satisfaction, and strengthen our combined Ocutrx-Spectrum's reputation."
The AS9100 certification reinforces Spectrum's dedication to precision, quality, and manufacturing innovation, including aircraft electronics and manufacturing, satellite electronics and manufacturing, rocket systems, launch systems, and spaceflight ground support communications and systems. It illustrates Ocutrx and Spectrum's role as a trusted partner in the rapidly growing space race, building on several recent achievements:
- Strategic Partnerships: Spectrum was recently named the manufacturing partner for D-Orbit USA, the U.S.-based joint venture of the globally recognized space logistics company D-Orbit. This partnership highlights Spectrum's integral role in advancing space exploration.
- Economic Impact: In February 2024, Spectrum secured over $1.2 million in Job Growth Incentive Tax Credits from the Colorado Economic Development Commission (EDC). This initiative paves the way for creating up to 101 new jobs, bolstering Spectrum's capabilities and contributions to the aerospace sector.
- Global Presence: This week, Spectrum will showcase its innovations at SpaceCom, the premier global commercial space conference in Orlando, Florida. Attendees are invited to visit booth #1210 to meet the Spectrum team and learn more about the company's groundbreaking advancements in aerospace manufacturing.
Each milestone demonstrates Spectrum's ongoing commitment to leadership in the space and aerospace industries. Ocutrx and Spectrum are positioned to meet the challenges and opportunities of this exciting era.
