Cirexx Amplifies Its Commitment to the Military/Aerospace Industry with AS9100 Certification

Capitalizing on more than 25 years of rigid-flex printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly, Cirexx establishes itself as a leader in high reliability solutions for the Military/Aerospace customer.

SANTA CLARA, CA, February 1, 2010 — Cirexx International, Inc., a leader in quick turn prototype and production manufacture of high reliability flex and rigid-flex printed circuits, announces the achievement of AS9100 certification for Military/Aerospace applications. This was accomplished in the relatively short time frame of six months, indicating highly effective quality management systems were in place even before embarking on the AS9100 pursuit. The AS9100 standard was released in late 1999 by the *SAE International (Land Sea Air and Space Division) and is supported by the American Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG). The AS9100 certification was developed using the ISO 9001, AS9000, and EN9000-1 quality standards and builds upon their requirements to produce the first standard available for use across the global aerospace community. AS9100 adds the additional requirements necessary to address both civil/military aviation and aerospace needs.

This certification adds to Cirexx’ increased presence in the Military/Aerospace industry. The company is also MIL-PRF-31032 certified for high layer count products and specializes in microwave and RF material applications, as well as high density interconnect for demanding avionics, aerospace, military, and medical industry applications. The company is also ITAR certified; enabling sensitive U.S. Military program manufacturing.

Cirexx continues to provide high reliability, mission-critical products with the highest standards of quality and control. With a nearly 30 year history of printed circuit board manufacturing, the company has continually invested in its people, its state-of-the-art technology and facilities, and its commitment to delivering seamless integration solutions for the Design, Fabrication, and Assembly requirements of its customer base.
