Solar Atmospheres Souderton Facility Awarded Nadcap 18-month Merit Status

October 27, 2016

Solar Atmospheres announces that it has been awarded Nadcap 18-month Merit Status for Heat Treating at the Souderton, PA facility.

Solar Atmospheres in Souderton has held Nadcap accreditation since 1995, maintaining merit status for the majority of that time. Having demonstrated their ongoing commitment to quality by satisfying customer requirements and industry specifications, the Nadcap Task Group has determined that Solar Atmospheres has again earned this special recognition.

"Achieving Nadcap accreditation is not easy; it is one of the ways in which the aerospace industry identifies those who excel at manufacturing quality product through superior special processes. Companies such as Solar Atmospheres go above and beyond achieving Nadcap accreditation to obtain Merit status and they should be justifiably proud of it," said Joe Pinto, executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Performance Review Institute. "Benefiting from a less frequent audit schedule reduces audit costs and associated pressures and demonstrates the trust that the aerospace industry has in Solar Atmospheres based on their past performance in Nadcap audits. PRI is proud to support continual improvement in the aerospace industry by helping companies such as Solar Atmospheres be successful and we look forward to continuing to assist the industry moving forward."
