Burnley-based aerospace parts company Velocity Composites has passed a major global industry accreditation.

The Nadcap accreditation is an internationally recognised National Aerospace and Defence Contractors’ Accreditation Programme.

The accreditation for the Tallassee site of Velocity Composites in Alabama, US, is seen as a major milestone for the facility, said the company.

Commercial and Supply Chain Director at Velocity Composites, Matthew Archer, said: “It is pleasing for the Velocity team and reassuring for our customers that our processes have been externally verified to be robust across all of our sites.

“We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality products to the aerospace supply chain, and customers and manufacturers can be confident that our standards meet the strictest criteria."

Velocity Composites manufactures advanced carbon fibre and ancillary material kits for use in the aerospace and associated industries.
