CRS Aerospace's Empalme, Sonora, Mexico facility has achieved NADCAP certification in its areas of core competency: anodizing (chrome, sulfuric and hard), and Chemfilm.
NADCAP, short for National Aerospace & Defense Contractors Accreditation Program, is a program that was initially conceived by the Department of Defense to ensure consistent aerospace process and quality. Today most aerospace OEMs and their major suppliers require NADCAP accreditation as a prerequisite for doing business with them.
In addition to anodizing and chemfilm, CRS' capabilities include precision aerospace machining, masking, NDT and chemical washing.
According to Hector Acosta President of CRS Aerospace, "NADCAP accreditation will benefit all of our customers that are machining in Mexico by providing them with a source that can service them with secondary processes in a one stop shop. The company's plan going forward is to become the premier offshore low cost full service supplier in the industry".
CRS Aerospace in Empalme was established in 2007, when the firm acquired the Mexican operations of ChemResearch. The new management of CRS has significant experience in all phases of aerospace manufacturing, including fabrication, assembly, machining and complex special processes.
The Offshore Group is the largest provider of outsourced manufacturing support, or, "shelter" services in Mexico. Currently 63 manufacturers are in production are at The Offshore Groups three industrial parks in Sonora and the city of Saltillo, Coahuila.
