Mahler Machining Achieves AS9100 Certification
Dec 11, 2025 | Nicole Agustin
On December 9th 2025 Mahler Machining officially achieved AS9100 certification. This marks a major milestone in our company’s history. It reflects years of investment, disciplined operational improvement, and an unwavering commitment to quality excellence across every part we produce. AS9100 is the global quality management standard for aerospace and defense manufacturing. Earning this certification signals that Mahler meets the most rigorous requirements for process control, traceability, risk management, and continuous improvement. It strengthens our position as a trusted supplier for advanced industries that rely on absolute precision and reliability.
The Journey to AS9100
We intend to build a world class machining company that innovators and manufacturers could trust with their most demanding components. To reach this level we needed a quality management system that matched our ambition. Over the past two years our team redesigned core processes, expanded documentation and traceability, strengthened our non-conforming product management, integrated serialized inspection workflows, implemented High QA and ProShop, upgraded training and competency tracking, and introduced a culture of continuous improvement in every department. We ran internal audits, hosted readiness assessments, and refined procedures through real production cycles. We invested in our people as much as our systems. Every team member at Mahler including our machinists, programmers, inspectors, and leadership team were all a key part of the transformation. Every person contributed ideas, solved problems, and elevated the standard of how we work.
