Cable maker meets
aerospace quality standard

Brand-Rex has been awarded the coveted ISO AS9100 aerospace quality systems standard, to add to the existing ISO TS1649 automotive approval rating it has held since 2004

Leading structured and speciality cabling solutions manufacturer Brand-Rex has been awarded the coveted ISO AS9100 aerospace quality systems standard, to add to the existing ISO TS1649 automotive approval rating it has held since 2004. According to the company, this latest award - for the company's speciality cable manufacturing facility in Leigh, Lancashire - makes Brand-Rex the only cable manufacturer in Europe to hold both of these approvals at a single site.

'We are delighted to be awarded the ISO aerospace quality systems standard', commented Sales Director for Brand-Rex's Speciality Business, Steve Kavanagh.

'Brand-Rex's Speciality cable manufacturing business in Leigh has been heavily focused on key business areas such as automotive, aerospace, defence, marine, mass transit and industrial applications and the fact that we now hold major contracts with world-class customers in all our target speciality business areas is a testament to that effort', he said.

'We expect the achievement of ISO AS9100 to further strengthen both our manufacturing capabilities and our customer solutions', continued Kavanagh.

'Brand-Rex continues to invest heavily in its manufacturing facilities to ensure both sites are equipped for future growth and the ISO award is a fitting tribute to the time and effort made by all those involved'.

Brand-Rex's manufacturing operations were restructured in 2005, in order to develop its two manufacturing businesses into 'centres of excellence' - for datacommunications in Glenrothes, Fife and speciality cable products in Leigh.

During 2005, the Brand-Rex's speciality solutions business embarked on a major development programme for cables to be used in the London Underground's control and communication systems infrastructure.

With the initial programme now complete, the effort has resulted in a full range of high-specification high-resilience products being made generally available.

According to the company, work continues in expanding this range and developing new solutions in response to the needs of other infrastructure projects.
