March 17, 2021

Nadcap® recognizes Light Metals Coloring for its superior performance and commitment to continual improvement in aerospace quality

Light Metals Coloring has held Nadcap® accreditation since February 29, 2008. Having demonstrated an ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and industry specifications, the Nadcap® Task Group has determined that we have earned special recognition. This means that, instead of having our next Nadcap® audit in twelve months, we have been granted an accreditation that lasts 24 months.

In order to work in the aerospace industry many customers require their suppliers of special processes to have Nadcap certification. A special process is defined as any production or service process which cannot be measured, monitored, or verified prior to delivery without destructive testing. Nadcap accreditation is a multi-faceted, industry-managed program that ensures special processes and quality control for the aerospace industry within the supply chain giving customers confidence in the process. Standardization is recognized, lowering costs and increasing the bottom-line.

 Nadcap® accreditation is universally acknowledged as a significant undertaking. Validating compliance to industry standards, best practices and customer requirements, Nadcap® has long been incorporated by the aerospace industry into their risk mitigation activity. Companies such as ours have gone even further by achieving 24-month Merit status and we are proud of it.
