LPW’s US operation achieves AS 9120A

LPW Technology, specialist in the development, processing and supply of high quality metal powders for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, continues to extend its quality assurance standards. LPW Technology, the company’s US operation located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been awarded AS 9120A & ISO 9001:2008, reflecting its parent company’s achievements.

“LPW’s ethos is to provide evidence-based quality assurance for its customers across the globe,” commented John D. Hunter, general manager of LPW Technology, Inc. “The award of the USA quality standards complements our UK achievements, where we've already attained ISO 9001:2008, ISO 13485:2012, AS 9100C and AS 9120A.”

LPW Technology was established in 2014 to meet strong demand for LPW’s metal powders and industry knowledge from the North and South American AM market. A dedicated team provides comprehensive analytical services, product inventory, applications and sales support to the area.

“AS 9120A was developed for pass-through distributors of aerospace items and has been extended to include defence and space industries too,” added Hunter. “Achieving AS 9120A for the procurement and supply of specialist powders for laser and electron beam additive manufacturing processes assures our customers of product quality, traceability and the control and availability of records, reducing risk and elevating LPW Technology’s quality management system to the aerospace industry’s global standard (IAQG).”
