Valence Surface Technologies achieves Nadcap accreditation

Valence Surface Technologies, provider of metal processing and finishing services in the aerospace and defense industry, has received Nadcap accreditation for its new shot peening facility in Everett, Washington.

The new 10,000ft2 facility is located at the PowderMill Business Center adjacent to the Boeing Everett Factory and has been purpose-built to shot peen large aerostructure components up to 30ft in length matching the capability of the existing Everett special processing facility.

Matthew Alty, vice president of operations at Valence, said: “Valence has worked closely with its customer base in the Pacific Northwest to understand the process requirements for new and existing programs. We’ve invested in adding much needed capacity for large part shot peening. The plant combines an automated shot peen capability and an integrated digital masking cell specifically designed to streamline the processing of geometrically complex components.

“By matching large part shot peen capability to its existing 30-foot NDT, chemical processing and paint lines, Valence now delivers a fully integrated solution to its customers. Alty added, “Instead of sending a part to multiple suppliers, customers can now issue a single purchase order to Valence, reducing lead times, transportation and logistics costs.”
