Emerald Technologies is proud to announce that our San Jose site has successfully achieved AS9100D certification. This significant milestone reflects our team’s dedication to delivering quality products and dependable service to our customers.

AS9100D is the internationally recognized quality management standard for the aerospace, defense, and aviation industries. Achieving this certification reflects the strength of our systems, the discipline of our processes, and the dedication of the team members who make excellence part of our everyday work.

"Achieving AS9100D certification is a significant milestone for our San Jose team and reflects our commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and operational excellence. I am proud of the team's dedication and hard work in making this achievement possible," said Chuck Hong, San Jose Plant Manager.

During the certification audit, several strengths of our Quality Management System and operations were recognized, including:

• Strong risk management practices supported by comprehensive process reviews
• Clear roles, responsibilities, and communication across the organization
• A highly effective and well-controlled calibration system
• A mature and disciplined problem-solving process that strengthens operations and customer outcomes

This achievement reflects the dedication, collaboration, and expertise of our San Jose team, as well as the strong culture of quality that extends across Emerald Technologies. The positive feedback received during the audit recognized not only the effectiveness of our systems and processes but also the professionalism, accountability, and commitment demonstrated throughout the organization.

"With customer expectations evolving across the industry, AS9100D certification reinforces the rigorous operational framework required for increasingly complex and high reliability programs. This achievement is particularly significant for defense and aerospace customers, where precision, compliance, and reliability are paramount. The certification earned by our San Jose team enhances Emerald’s overall capabilities and the value we provide to mission critical programs," said Pepo Carrasquillo, Chief Operating Officer.

While this certification marks an important accomplishment, it also reflects the progress taking place across Emerald Technologies. We continue to invest in our facilities, technology, and teams to support increasingly complex programs and deliver lasting value to our customers.

The San Jose site’s achievement joins our Brea, Medford, Salem, and Saline facilities in Emerald’s growing network of AS9100D-certified locations. This expanded footprint enables us to support A&D customers with greater scale, flexibility, and manufacturing expertise across multiple sites.

We extend our sincere thanks to our employees whose efforts helped make this achievement possible. Their professionalism, teamwork, and focus on doing things the right way were instrumental in reaching this milestone.

While certification is an important achievement, what matters most is what it represents: the investments we continue to make in our people, capabilities, and manufacturing operations. As customer needs evolve, we are advancing our capabilities and expertise to help our customers move from concept to production with greater confidence.
