The award will provide MTD with international recognition for its precision engineered components that are used within the aerospace industry.
Managing director Darren Booton said: “This accreditation puts us in a good position when looking for work and it also enables us to provide products to the top tier of the industry.”
Half of the £26,000 required to gain the accreditation was provided by the government's Manufacturing Advisory Service, who are also backing the company's bid to aim for the SC21 accreditation.
The MAS' SC21 project manager, Cliff Johnson said: “Any company serious about operating in the aerospace and defence sector needs to engage with and deploy the methodologies of SC21. From the outset MTD has shown a strategic commitment to develop within the sector, and we at MAS West Midlands took the view that supporting the company through the AWM and ERDF-funded SC21 programme and AS/EN9100 was critical to its effective growth and further market sector penetration.”
