Mistakes and lapses in finishing carry serious consequences. Missing a step can cause part failure, delivery delays, and loss of program approval. Nadcap certification helps prevent these risks by verifying that suppliers maintain strict process control and traceability standards essential for high-stakes projects.

The Lindgren Group is a Nadcap-approved supplier for Chemical Processing. This certification confirms that our processes for finishes offered at Avtec Finishing Systems and Nico Products meet rigorous industry requirements through ongoing audits and comprehensive documentation.

What Is Nadcap and Why Does It Matter?

Nadcap, the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program, establishes industry-wide standards for qualifying special processes. It applies to finishing operations like anodizing and plating, where quality may not be immediately visible but directly affects safety and performance.

Without Nadcap-approved processes, OEMs and their supply chains face an increased risk of:

  • Inconsistent results across production runs that can compromise part reliability
  • Nonconforming parts that cause delays in final assembly and project completion
  • Audit findings that disrupt schedules and create costly rework
  • Lost business opportunities due to a lack of recognized qualifications

Nadcap audits target:

  • Process control to ensure each step is performed correctly
  • Operator consistency to reduce variation and errors
  • Equipment maintenance to keep machinery running properly
  • Documentation that provides traceability and accountability

All these elements are critical to achieving coating performance that holds up under real-world conditions.
