Exxelia SVM has reached a major milestone in high-reliability manufacturing, announcing that its production site in Chennai, India, is now officially certified to AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 standards. Following a rigorous audit by DNV Business Assurance USA Inc., this certification solidifies Exxelia’s position as a premier manufacturer of high-performance busbars for the aerospace, defense, and power electronics sectors.
By aligning its Indian operations with the world’s most stringent quality management systems, Exxelia ensures that every component leaving the SVM facility meets the uncompromising safety and traceability requirements of the global aviation industry.
Strengthening the Global Supply Chain for High-Reliability Busbars
In the world of power electronics, busbars are the backbone of high-current distribution. However, in aerospace and defense applications, standard industrial quality is often insufficient. The Exxelia SVM certification means that these customized electromechanical components are now produced in an environment that prioritizes risk management, product safety, and full configuration control.
Customers sourcing from the Chennai site can now identify products with the marking: “Manufactured in an EN9100 / AS9100 certified factory.” This label acts as a seal of trust, providing engineers and procurement officers with the assurance that every part is backed by a globally recognized quality framework.
Why AS9100D Certification Matters for Aerospace and Defense
The AS9100D standard is more than just a certificate; it is the “gold standard” for the aerospace industry. While ISO 9001:2015 provides a solid foundation for general quality management, AS9100D adds layers of complexity specifically designed for high-stakes environments.
Key pillars of this certification at the Exxelia SVM site include:
- Enhanced Traceability: Every raw material and manufacturing step is documented, allowing for full “cradle-to-grave” tracking of components.
- Risk Mitigation: Systematic identification of potential failures in the production process before they reach the customer.
- Product Safety: Strict protocols to ensure that high-current busbars perform reliably under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.
- Operational Consistency: Standardized workflows that ensure the thousandth unit produced is identical in quality to the first.
A Strategic Move for Exxelia in India
Located in the industrial hub of Chennai, the SVM Private Limited facility serves as a critical node in Exxelia’s global manufacturing network. The scope of this certification covers the manufacture and supply of electronic and electromechanical components, specifically focusing on customized busbar solutions.
As India continues to grow as a global aerospace manufacturing hub, Exxelia’s investment in AS9100D compliance demonstrates a long-term commitment to supporting both local and international OEMs. By operating under the ICOP (Industry Controlled Other Party) scheme, Exxelia confirms its adherence to the highest level of international oversight.
