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.

Toronto-based Integran Technologies, Inc. (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.
