Atlantic earns Millitech quality award, again

For the second time in a row, Millitech, Inc. has awarded Atlantic Fasteners a Certificate of Appreciation based on quality, on-time delivery and proper documentation.

According to Richard Shepard, supply chain and contracts manager at Millitech’s manufacturing services division, Atlantic’s composite score was 99.63% for 2009-2010. “Overall Millitech has been very pleased with the relationship that we have developed with Atlantic Fasteners,” notes Shepard. 

In 2008, Atlantic had earned the same Millitech award with a 97 percent rating. Only suppliers achieving a 95% or better score in at least four out of eight previous calendar quarters receive the award.

“We’re pleased with our improving performance during the last two years and are focused on reaching a 100% score on the next go-around,” notes Atlantic president Tony Peterson.

Millitech, located in both Northampton and South Deerfield, MA, provides millimeter-wave technology and manufacturing expertise to the military and aerospace markets.
