AMETEK SMP Superior Tube
Re-Awarded Two Nadcap Accreditations
AMETEK SMP Superior Tube, a manufacturer of small diameter precision metal tubing
for the aerospace and defense industries as well as other sectors, has announced two
successful reaccreditations from Nadcap, formerly known as the National Aerospace and
Defense Contractors Accreditation Program.
Superior Tube met all Nadcap’s requirements
based on the exacting standards around heat
treating and welding/brazing.
Nadcap provides independent accreditation and
certification of special manufacturing processes
and products to companies working across the
aerospace and defense sectors. Superior Tube was
re-awarded the heat treating and welding/brazing
reaccreditations based on its ongoing commitment
to continual improvement in the aerospace industry,
as demonstrated in specific manufacturing processes.
These include chemical processing, metal coatings,
conventional machining, heat treating, non-
destructive testing and welding.
Scott Bussinger, Quality Manager at Superior Tube
said: “We are very proud that we have once again
been awarded these prestigious accreditations
from Nadcap and are proud of our track record in
manufacturing high performance, bespoke metal
tubing to challenging specifications. We look forward
to continue working with Nadcap to ensure that we
remain fully accountable in our heat treating and
welding processes in our commitment to operational
excellence in all of our manufacturing activities.”
The Nadcap program is run by the Performance
Review Institute and was established in 1990 to
develop and monitor an industry-wide set of criteria,
providing independent certification of conformity
across a range of special processes in the aerospace
and defense sectors.
