"This is the start of an exciting new chapter for C-Mac, putting us in a unique position to progress within the space market, in addition to representing a significant step forward for the European electronics industry in general".
"It is an indication of the growth plans we have for the business and part of ongoing investment in our aerospace and defence electronics business".
To fulfil the MIL Class K criteria, C-Mac's manufacturing facility underwent a rigorous audit, conducted by DSCC, NASA, The Aerospace Corporation and Qinetiq.
Following this, C-Mac is considered to be a certified manufacturer to MIL-PRF-38534 Class H and K effective from 7th March 2007.
C-Mac had already set a precedent in fulfilling stringent US electronics manufacturing requirements, becoming the first non-US company to meet the US defence performance specification, MIL-PRF-38534, MIL Class H, in 1992.
