Roseville, Calif., Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PRIDE Industries, the nation’s leading employer of people with disabilities, proudly announces that its Manufacturing and Logistics Services (MLS) division has achieved AS9100 certification through National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI). This certification validates PRIDE Industries’ compliance with the rigorous AS9100 quality standards for the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of electronic products in the aerospace and defense industries worldwide.

AS9100 is the globally recognized quality management standard for the aerospace, defense and aviation industries, also recognized in the industrial manufacturing sector. Obtaining this certification underlines PRIDE Industries’ commitment to providing its customers with safe, reliable and high-quality products, thereby strengthening its quality assurance framework.

The ITAR regulates the export and manufacture of defense articles and services, as well as brokerage and temporary import activities. Additionally, it controls the processing of technical data and software listed on the United States Munitions List (USML).
