E arlier this summer, AFL hosted an open house for customers and Boeing suppliers to tour the facility. “Their eyes lit up,” Ueltschi said. “They were in awe at the freshness and the new- ness — experienced staff, preservation of product and rubberized flooring throughout.” Today, most of their aerospace business relies on basic Mil-Spec, but AFL seeks to clear the last, yet biggest hurdle — Boeing approval on the D1-4426 specification that establishes them as an approved supplier for Boeing-spec parts. “We are committed to meeting this requirement,” says Ueltschi. “Looking into the future, Boeing certification will unlock an ocean of opportunity for our business to grow.” CGTech-OCT-NOV-Northwest Aero-PRINT.pdf 8/10/2018 AFL is currently in the audit stage 1 with Boeing 8:52:53 for this process specification and anticipates their approval will be finalized by the end of 2018.
