Federal Electronics Adds AS9100 Certification to Hermosillo, Mexico Facility, Expanding Aerospace & Defense Capabilities
May 20, 2025 | Federal ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Federal Electronics, a leader in providing advanced electronic manufacturing services, has officially added AS9100 certification to its Hermosillo, Mexico facility, further aligning its operations with the quality standards required by the aerospace and defense industries. This certification builds on the facility’s existing ISO 9001:2015 accreditation and marks a key advancement in the company’s ongoing development of parallel capabilities across both its U.S. and Mexico locations.
Since opening in 2010, the Hermosillo facility has supported OEMs with high-quality, cost-effective manufacturing for industrial and medical markets. Now equipped to meet AS9100 standards, the site is positioned to support a broader range of complex, high-reliability programs—including new opportunities across the Midwest, Southwest, and Western U.S. regions.
“This achievement is a significant step toward offering full manufacturing parity across both of our locations,” said Ed Evangelista, President of Federal Electronics. “It enables us to better support aerospace and defense programs while giving customers more flexibility in choosing a location that meets their technical and logistical needs—without compromising on quality or reliability.”
The Hermosillo facility employs more than 350 skilled professionals and is tightly integrated with Federal Electronics’ headquarters in Cranston, Rhode Island. Both sites operate on a shared ERP and IT platform, allowing for streamlined production, efficient supply chain management, and consistent process control. Customers benefit from nearshore manufacturing that offers responsiveness, quality assurance, and design-to-delivery transparency.
With more than 60 years of experience, Federal Electronics continues to expand its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of OEMs across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial electronics.

American Made Advocacy: Lobbying Congress Supports the Supply Chain
05/27/2025 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyThe upheaval in world markets is driving daily headlines. The global supply chain has seemed “normal” for the microelectronics industry because over the past three decades, an increasing percentage of microelectronics components and materials have been made overseas. For many years, other countries, primarily in Asia, invested heavily in their microelectronics industry while U.S. companies offshored manufacturing services in pursuit of the lowest cost.
