Olympus Foundry Achieves AS9100 Quality Management Certification From NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR)
AS9100 certification for aviation, space and defense organizations demonstrates Olympus Foundry’s commitment to aerospace industry expectations
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 8, 2026 – Olympus Foundry has achieved AS9100 aerospace management systems certification from NSF-ISR, an NSF company. Certification to AS9100, a widely adopted and standardized quality management system for the aerospace industry, ensures a framework for continual improvement and access to best practices from across the aerospace industry, while serving as a precursor for Olympus Foundry to qualify as a supplier in the aviation, space and defense supply chain.
The AS9100 standard is based on ISO 9001, but encompasses additional requirements specific to the unique needs of aerospace industry prime organizations and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These manufacturers/OEMs and their global supply base often endorse or require certification as assurance that certain base principals have been implemented.
The standard also incorporates requirements of relevant industry stakeholders (e.g. product safety awareness, counterfeit controls, risk-based thinking, process validation, etc.). In addition, it is compatible with other management systems, such as ISO 14001.
Another unique feature of this standard is its focus on performance through a combination of risk-based thinking, process-defined metric performance and an approach to continual improvement, along with employment of the “plan-do-check-act” cycle at all levels in the organization.
"AS9100 certification is a significant milestone for Olympus Foundry and validates our commitment to quality, traceability, and continuous improvement,” said Isaac Mares, founder and chief engineer of Olympus Foundry. “It establishes the foundation for supporting aerospace and defense customers while advancing our mission of restoring domestic magnesium casting capability through modern manufacturing practices and digital integration."
Certification to AS9100 is assurance to business partners and the public of a commitment to quality and precision.
