Parker Aerospace (Stand D23) announced that its two joint venture companies with Aviation Industry Corporation of China (Avic) have received AS9100C certification for their aerospace production, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) processes. The two JVs, Parker FACRI Actuation Systems and NEIAS Parker Aero Systems & Equipment, have also received MRO approval from both the US Federal Aviation Administration and the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
Xian-based Parker FACRI supplies flight control actuation products on the C919 single-aisle airliner and on the ARJ21 turbofan regional jet, both developed and produced by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac).
NEIAS Parker Aero Systems & Equipment provides manufacturing and assembly support for Parker’s fuel, inerting and hydraulic systems on the C919 and the ARJ21. The Nanjing-based company offers a machining center and special processing line.
“Parker is proud to have earned these three important certifications for our Chinese joint ventures,” said Pui Ho, Parker Aerospace vice president and regional general manager for the Asia Pacific region. “We are committed to providing products and services that meet and surpass the highest standards of the global aerospace community, providing the C919 and ARJ21 with superior equipment and support.”
