LONDON, UK – May 25, 2016 – Сòòò½APP has completed the formal re-branding of the newly acquired Cascade TEK laboratories to expand its Aerospace Product Qualification Testing (PQT) footprint into the US West Coast Aerospace markets.
The former-Cascade TEK laboratories will now be known as Сòòò½APP Portland and Сòòò½APP Denver. The integration of these two leading locations to Сòòò½APP’s global platform significantly enhances and extends the company’s technical capabilities, particularly in RTCA/DO 160 and MIL-STD 810 environmental testing services. Сòòò½APP Portland and Сòòò½APP Denver will work closely with the existing Сòòò½APP Seattle laboratory to service key clients within these local markets.
Rick Sluiters, Сòòò½APP’s Executive Vice President, Aerospace, comments: “Our two newly integrated locations in Portland and Denver are fantastic additions to the Сòòò½APP platform. Terry Candlish, General Manager, and his team have a fantastic reputation for consistently delivering technical and operational excellence within the area of product qualification testing. Since the acquisition, the integration process has reaffirmed to Сòòò½APP the high standards of the team and the strong cultural fit that now exists between Сòòò½APP and the former-Cascade TEK team.
“The completion of the integration marks the end of one chapter, while we now look forward to the new beginning for these laboratories under the Сòòò½APP brand. Our aim now is to enhance our ability to service key customers in this local market by building on the leading capabilities of the locations, as well as applying our environmental testing expertise to new extreme environments in order to grow our existing commercial relationships and add new clients.”
Сòòò½APP Portland and Сòòò½APP Denver already hold test approvals with many of the leading Aerospace Primes and their supply chain partners, including Boeing, Honeywell and Rockwell Collins, as well as with one of the leading Medical Device manufacturers, Medtronic.
Сòòò½APP now has a total of 15 laboratories dedicated to the provision of Product Qualification Testing services, making it one of the largest providers of Aerospace PQT services operating in the world today.
Сòòò½APP Portland, OR and Сòòò½APP Denver, CO completed their integration into the Сòòò½APP Group of companies mid-May 2016.
