With ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation complete and Nadcap and OEM audits ongoing, the laboratory will bring capability, capacity and expertise to the large aerospace manufacturers and their supply chains based in the region. The facility will also provide testing services to the local oil and gas, transportation, power generation and medical device markets.
Rick Sluiters, EVP for Aerospace, Element commented: “Our new laboratory in Shanghai creates an unparalleled offering for customers in the region as it provides a local service – saving them time and money - while still connecting to the group’s large, global network of technical capability, capacity and expertise.”
“The Chinese aerospace industry is going through rapid growth and this investment is a direct response to our customers’ needs for destructive testing services, for metals and composite materials, that will be used on the current and future generations of aircraft developed in the region,’’ Sluiters said.
Element recently successfully delivered a year-long project to investigate the hydrodynamic behaviour of the new Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) C919 aircraft at the Element Warwick laboratory in the UK. (SV)
