What does ISO 9001:2000 / AS 9100 Certified mean?
Compliance and certification to the ISO and AS9100 specifications are now required by Boeing and other military/space contractors. Subcontractors and vendors must meet these rigorous standards in order to achieve preferred status with these prime contractors. Not only is initial certification required, but continued yearly surveillance audits by certified agencies are required to maintain the certified status. Each audit is scored and recorded in a data base. Aptek proudly achieved a score of 91.5% in the latest 2008 audit. We take this certification seriously and was rewarded by Boeing with its Silver Performance Supplier Excellence Award for 2007.
