Why Great Lakes Coatings Is a Strong Fit for Defense Programs
Great Lakes Coatings brings several capabilities that make it well-suited for defense procurement programs requiring ITAR compliance and quality management system certification.
Their active ITAR registration means they are authorized to work with controlled defense articles and technical data — a prerequisite for any program involving US munitions list items.
AS9100D certification demonstrates their quality management system is built specifically for aerospace and defense applications, exceeding the requirements of standard ISO 9001.
With CMMC Level 1 compliance, they are positioned to handle programs requiring controlled unclassified information (CUI) handling as required by DoD contracts.
Additional NADCAP certifications in heat treatment and non-destructive testing provide a further layer of process validation for precision-critical applications.
