Leonardo UK Ltd. (London, U.K.) has joined the Nadcap accreditation program as a subscribing member. Subscribers to the Nadcap program are prime contractors in the aerospace industry that exhibit design authority and control over supplier quality across their organization.
Leonardo UK, a subsidiary of Leonardo, specializes in advanced electronics, helicopters and cybersecurity for the aerospace and defense industries.
The Nadcap program, overseen by the Performance Review Institute (PRI), serves as an aerospace industry-managed approach to conformity assessment. It brings together technical experts from industry and government to establish accreditation standards, accredit suppliers and delineate operational program criteria in aerospace. Originally initiated and currently managed by aerospace OEMs, Nadcap ensures supply chain quality oversight and regulatory compliance. Commencing in 1990, it remains a cornerstone of aerospace quality assurance efforts.
“Leonardo UK brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Nadcap program that we appreciate,” Jim Lewis, vice president (VP) of Nadcap, says. Andrew Walton, VP of quality and operations capability at Leonardo adds that participation in the program enables the U.K. company to benefit from more critical process audit procedures and forms part of its journey to support suppliers in improving quality and cost.
