Increasingly, it is being seen as a mandatory requirement for key suppliers to aerospace OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).\n \nPhilip Kirkham, CEO of Hardide plc said: \"We have products in development and testing with several of the biggest names in the aerospace industry and while we are not currently required to have Nadcap, we want to be Nadcap-accredited at the earliest opportunity as this further enhances our reputation with customers by bringing our quality systems and controls to what will be world class levels.\"\n \nThe programme of work leading to accreditation is expected to be completed by the end of 2014 and forms one of a range of preparations for future aerospace business.\nFor further information:\n \n\n\n\n\nHardide plc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhilip Kirkham, Chief Executive Officer\nJackie Robinson, Communications Manager\n\n\nTel: +44 1869 353 830\[email protected]\nwww.hardide.com\n\n\n\n\n \nN+1 Singer\nAndrew Craig, Ben Wright\n\n\n \n \nTel: +44 207 496 3000\nwww.n1singer.com\n\n\n\n\n\nNotes to editors:\nHardide Coatings develops, manufactures and applies nano-structured tungsten carbid...
