Carr Manufacturing Company knows one thing: trust has to be earned. That’s why we pursued and achieved AS9100 certification, a benchmark for quality that means our cable assemblies and manufacturing processes meet the strictest requirements in the aerospace world, and beyond.
Being an AS9100 certified manufacturer isn’t just a title we display. It’s a system we live by every day. For our customers, that means more confidence, fewer risks, and products that perform the way they’re supposed to, even in the harshest environments.
Why AS9100 Matters
Most people are familiar with ISO 9001. It’s a strong foundation for quality systems, and many manufacturers stop there. But aerospace demands more. That’s where AS9100 comes in.
Here’s the difference:
- Every procedure is documented, no guesswork left to memory.
- Every part is tracked and traceable, start to finish.
- Risks are spotted early, with controls in place to prevent issues.
- Continuous improvement isn’t optional, it’s built into the framework.
When you compare thermal bridge vs thermal break, you see one makes performance weaker while the other strengthens it. That’s how AS9100 stacks against ISO, it takes a good process and makes it more resilient.
Inside Our AS9100 Process Manufacturing
So what does AS9100 process manufacturing look like at Carr Manufacturing?
It’s not just about inspections and paperwork. It’s about discipline in every phase:
- Incoming materials are verified before anything goes into production.
- Work instructions guide operators step by step, leaving nothing to chance.
- In-process checks keep quality on track instead of catching issues too late.
- Traceability systems let us follow a project’s history, down to individual lots and components.
This structure doesn’t slow things down. It does the opposite. By preventing errors, we save time, reduce scrap, and deliver on schedule, without sacrificing quality.
Beyond Aerospace
Naturally, aerospace and defense clients expect AS9100. It’s a must-have. But we’ve seen other industries benefit just as much.
- Medical device companies need assemblies that meet strict reliability and safety standards.
- Telecom and electronics rely on consistent processes to keep systems running.
- Industrial and energy clients demand rugged, traceable solutions for tough environments.
The result is the same: a supply chain built on confidence, not uncertainty.
Why This Certification Should Matter to You
Plenty of manufacturers will tell you they “deliver quality.” But how do you know that’s true? Without a framework like AS9100, it’s just a promise. Certification takes the guesswork out.
When you partner with an AS9100 certified manufacturer like Carr, you get:
- Lower risk of non-compliance or costly rework.
- Documentation you can present to auditors with confidence.
- Repeatable quality, no matter how complex the order.
- A team that treats your product like it has to work the first time, every time.
It’s not just the finished assembly that matters. It’s the assurance that the way it was made is dependable.
More Than a Certificate
We don’t see AS9100 as a ceiling. For us, it’s a baseline. Our people are trained not only to follow the standard, but to keep asking questions like: “Is this the best way? Can we do it smarter?”
That mindset drives improvements big and small, whether it’s updating inspection equipment, refining instructions, or finding ways to speed up production without cutting corners. Customers benefit from that culture of accountability.
