Provider of critical and complex machining solutions across a number of high tech sectors, Castle Precision has announced that it has been recommended for accreditation to AS9100 Revision C following a successful audit at its Glasgow facility.
Castle’s team of over 150 members of staff operate an advanced, fully computerised manufacturing facility and
made the step change from Revision B at its first attempt – more than six months ahead of the global deadline of July 2012.
Managing director, Marcus
Tiefenbrun, commented: “At Castle, we welcome anything that challenges the aerospace industry to reach a higher level and we are very proud to have achieved this objective, which could not have been undertaken without the ongoing commitment of our workforce.
“Attaining this accreditation is no mean feat,” he added, “however the real benefit of the accreditation is that it emphasises our commitment to providing ever higher levels of quality and delivery performance at globally competitive prices to our customers.”

Celebrating 90 years in business, Tunbridge Wells, Kent-based Muffett Gears, an AS9100 approved company specialising in the manufacture of precision gears and gearboxes, is steadily expanding towards its centenary. To mark the occasion, Greg Clark MP attended a recent open day that focused on the presentation of completion certificates to two Muffett apprentices. Clearly visible to all those who attended were the professional principles upon which Muffett Gears’ longevity and success has been based – namely investment in its people and equipment. For many years the company

has operated an apprenticeship training scheme and testament to its success is the fact that staff turnover is exceptionally low. Indeed many of the current employees started life at the company through the scheme and have remained loyal. Investment in up to date CNC equipment has been fundamental in maintaining Muffett’s competitive edge in the marketplace. Working in close partnership with customers has enabled investment in specialist machines that are able to produce the parts or assemblies required efficiently and cost- effectively. Tony Smith, third generation owner and managing director (once an apprentice himself), carries forward a tradition with the same dedication and passion as his forebears. “We are proud to work alongside some of the most demanding and exceptional clients across a diverse range of industries,” he explained. “Working with clients in sectors such as medical, aerospace, defence and scientific demands the highest standards of product quality and our challenge is to provide the best possible service to our customers.”
A snapshot of Muffett’s product portfolio illustrates the diversity of its customer base: state-of-the-art clinical radiotherapy and oncology management systems for the treatment of cancer; mechanical parts for prosthetic limbs; and components for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Muffett Gears will be exhibiting on stand N19 at the forthcoming Southern Manufacturing Show taking place in Farnborough from 15-16 February 2012.
