FAQ
Questions we are asked most often
Are you certified for defence work?
Our EN 9100 certificate covers aerospace and defence. Painting processes are qualified by Leonardo Elettronica. Our NCAGE code is AY293.
Can you follow a part from prototype to series?
Yes. Prototypes and small batches are machined from solid; when volumes justify the tooling we move the same part to die casting, with our own mould system.
Do you do everything in house?
Machining, painting, masking, marking, assembly and inspection are ours. Die casting, sand casting and chemical surface treatments are done by qualified partners, the treatments at Nadcap-accredited suppliers. We stay the single point of responsibility.
What is the minimum batch?
From one part. We deliver batches from 1 to 1,000 parts.
What is the typical lead time?
Six weeks with an annual schedule agreed in advance.
