ANT Industries, a leading manufacturer of aero engine and gas turbine components at its facility in Atherstone, has announced a significant milestone in its commitment to quality and excellence. The company has successfully achieved the National Aerospace and Defence Contractors Accreditation Programme (NADCAP) accreditation for its non-destructive testing (NDT) processes. Unique in the achievement is that ANT Industries has been awarded a 24-month merit status, a testament to the company's high standards and performance in the aerospace and defence sector.
Shaun Rowley, managing director at ANT Industries, said: “Receiving NADCAP accreditation with a 24-month merit status is a tremendous achievement for our team. It highlights our unwavering commitment to quality, precision, and compliance with the most rigorous industry standards. This accomplishment reflects our dedication to delivering world-class components to the aerospace and defence sectors.”
The NADCAP programme is globally recognised as the benchmark for quality in the aerospace and defence industries. A 24-month merit status is reserved for companies that demonstrate exceptional performance during their audits, with only minor findings and no non-sustaining corrective actions identified in both their current and previous audits. This extended merit status means ANT Industries will now undergo re-accreditation audits every 24 months, rather than the standard 12- or 18-month intervals.
Achieving this level of recognition under NADCAP is a significant validation of ANT Industries’ capability and commitment to maintaining industry-leading standards in its critical process manufacturing. The company's Atherstone headquarters serves as a hub for its cutting-edge work in aero and gas turbine engine components, delivering high-quality products to some of the world’s most demanding industries.
Mr Rowley concluded: “This accreditation is a reflection of the expertise and dedication of our team, and the trust our customers place in us to deliver consistently high-quality results - it means our customers can trust our control of this crucial process is at the highest level, such is the expectation of world class customers which include Rolls-Royce, ITP Aero and Siemens.”
