GF Additive, also known as AMotion Center, renewed three of its most important certificates. The plant located in Novazzano obtained the recertifications without any further complaints or deviations from the quality guidelines. 

The GF AMotion Center has recently received three of their most important recertifications for its outstanding quality management system. Nadcap, formerly known as National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program, is a company level accreditation based on specific processes used by aerospace suppliers such as heat treatment, conventional machining and welding among others. Therefore, it proves that a company meets the highest quality requirements with regard to special processes in the aerospace industry. Nadcap accreditation is conducted based on specific criteria and by highly qualified inspectors, as aerospace is a very sensitive industry where special requirements are placed on the products. In addition to the customers, the aviation authorities also set high standards, therefore GF has not only to display its strengths, but also has to be aware of any safety risks of its products and always try to reduce them to a minimum. For this reason, GF Additive is one of only six companies worldwide that hold this accreditation according to checklist 7110/14.

GF has also passed the EN 9100 certification with top marks in terms of improvement potential and without any deviations from the quality guidelines. Similar to Nadcap, EN 9100:2018 is international standard for design, development, production, assembly and maintenance for the aerospace industry. The EN 9100 certificate thus represents the modern definition of quality and aims to ensure the safety, reliability as well as the quality of the products, which has been proven with excellence.

The ISO 9001:2015 norm indicates the sustainable and systematic market positioning of the company, whereby the demonstrably fulfilled requirements should lead to a development of trust and image enhancement among customers and stakeholders. It is based on four fundamental principles that are applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size or product: process orientation, risk management, continuous improvement and orientation to customer satisfaction. The certificate is internationally valid and recognized worldwide through the IQNet partnership.
