Tektronix Component Solutions today announced that its Beaverton, Ore. manufacturing facility and headquarters has been certified to the standards of AS9100 Rev C for commercial aerospace, defense and space industries. In July of last year, Tektronix Component Solutions' component test laboratory in Orlando, Fla. achieved the same certification.

AS9100 is a quality management system created specifically to address the demanding quality and reliability standards of the aerospace industry. AS9100 Rev C goes above and beyond most other quality system requirements to provide confidence to aerospace, defense and space companies, and the U.S. government, that a supplier can meet their high-reliability and high-quality requirements. AS9100 is based on the ISO 9001:2008 quality management standards, with additional requirements that pertain to the commercial aerospace, defense and space industries.

"This certification is yet another indication of the importance this organization places upon performance, reliability and quality," said Tom Buzak, President, Tektronix Component Solutions. "Since a big part of AS9100 Rev C certification is customer satisfaction, this says volumes about the quality of our organization and the proven procedures and processes we have in place."

Tektronix Component Solutions' manufacturing and headquarters site in Beaverton provides a range of services to aerospace and defense organizations including ASIC design services; design, assembly and test services for IC packages, hybrids, RF and microwave modules; and high-speed data converter modules.
