MRD is proud to announce that we have officially received our AS9100 / ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) certification, issued by DEKRA, a global leader in certification services.
Historically, MRD has operated as a build-to-print job shop, specializing in machining small quantities of parts for prototyping, repair, and fast-turnaround services. Over the past three years, we’ve steadily evolved our focus—expanding into the design and manufacture of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) for a growing list of aerospace suppliers. In parallel, we’ve begun supporting engine and structural hardware test programs for both established and emerging aerospace and space companies.
Recognizing the critical importance of quality, traceability, and continuous improvement in these high-stakes industries, we made the strategic decision to pursue AS9100 certification. After two years of building, refining, and implementing our quality system, MRD has achieved certification across both of our Washington-based facilities:
-
1710 Fryar Avenue – Machining and assembly operations
-
1504 Fryar Avenue – Fabrication and welding operations
This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our team and reinforces our commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality results to our aerospace and space partners.
As we continue our transition into production of flight components, this certification enables us to better support the rigorous demands of our customers throughout the Pacific Northwest and across the United States.
AS9100 Scope:
The provision of design and machining of tooling and support equipment, contract manufacturing, assembly, and equipment repair services.
