Seco Tools India Earns ISO Certification for Aerospace Quality Standards

Seco Tools announced today that Seco India earned AS9100D certification on January 13. This is an important milestone because it enables Seco Tools to better support the aerospace sector across India and provide customers with solutions boosting productivity profitability. The certification is the result of a collaboration between Seco Global Quality department and Seco India—the first facility within the company to receive the certification—to develop aerospace-specific quality control standards.

 Following customer inquiries in 2016, Seco Tools established a project for meeting the aerospace certification standards in order to better serve large aircraft and defense part manufacturers. These industries typically require manufacturers to meet strict quality guidelines with frequent auditing, and the AS9100D certification demonstrates the commitment of Seco Tools to this and fostering a culture of continuous quality management.

Seco India already had ISO 9001 certification, but AS9100D supplements ISO 9001 with specific requirements tailored to meet the highly regulated and standards-driven aviation, space and defense industries. After an extensive audit of all its processes by an accredited aerospace certification auditor, Seco Tools’ Indian facility earned the ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D, the international equivalent to EN 9100:2018 and JISQ 9100:2016.

The certification initiative was led by Seco Tools’ Andreas Fritz & Nobert König. The global steering committee, consisting of Stefan Frölander, Norbert König, Atul Mohkhedkar and Adrian Cox, monitored the project. Ravindra Kohakade was the project lead.
