industry News Web Industries, Inc., a leader in custom manufacturing and development services for flexible materials, is pleased to announce the acquisition of CAD Cut, Inc., the leading provider of fabric cutting and kitting services for the aerospace, medical, and industrial fabrics markets. Under the terms of this transaction, Web has purchased essentially all of the assets of CAD Cut, including the company name, and will continue to operate CAD Cut’s facilities in Middlesex, Vermont, and Denton, Texas. Based in Vermont, CAD Cut utilizes the latest in computer controlled laser and knife cutting systems, supply chain management services, and world class quality systems. The company specializes in providing composite ply kits to the aerospace, aviation, defense, and industrial markets and also manufactures multilayer insulation blankets for cryogenic applications in medical devices as well as process aides for wind tunnel testing devices. Web Industries, a privately held 100% ESOP company, provides commercial-scale, best-in-class outsource converting, manufacturing, and development services to a wide array of customers in the aerospace composites, consumer products, medical, and wire & cable markets. The synergy between the two companies is especially strong in the aerospace sector, where Web is the recognized leader in providing precision composite slit tape for automated manufacturing, and CAD Cut has a strong background in providing precut and kitted material for hand layup of advanced composite parts. The addition of CAD Cut’s ply cutting and kitting capabilities to Web Industries’ existing array of proprietary composite slitting, spooling, chopping, and winding technologies and services will allow the company to offer a full range of advanced composite formatting solutions to the aerospace, automotive, and industrial markets.

(Integran) received their AS9100C:2009 certification on December 13, 2012 after an intensive audit of their quality systems. The certification applies to Integran’s Toronto facility for the design, development and application of advanced activation and electrodeposition processes based on patented technologies. AS9100C:2009 was established by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) and is the most recent quality management system standard for the supply of products to the aviation, space and defense sectors. It incorporates the ISO9001:2008 standard but adds the additional expectations of the aerospace and related industries. Major aerospace OEM’s, manufacturers, and suppliers require compliance and/ or registration to AS9100C:2009 as a condition of being able to do business with them. The main goals are to ensure product reliability, enhance risk management and improve customer satisfaction.   Integran passed the audit without any significant findings.
