Some companies maintain standards. At RBB, we move heaven and earth to raise them.
On May 13, 2026, RBB officially received its AS9100 certification following the successful completion of the audit process — a major milestone that reinforces the company’s commitment to quality, reliability, and continuous improvement in aerospace and defense manufacturing. 
Built upon ISO 9001, AS9100 introduces rigorous standards specific to aerospace and defense applications, including enhanced requirements for risk management, product safety, configuration management, traceability, and process control. These industries demand precision, accountability, and consistency at every stage of production — and AS9100 certification validates an organization’s ability to deliver on those expectations.
For RBB, it represents a natural evolution of the standards the company has followed since 1973.
Reliability has long been central to how RBB operates.
For more than five decades, RBB has supported customers withcomplex electronic assemblies across a wide range of industries. From surface mount and through-hole PCB assembly to mixed-technology builds and electromechanical integration, the company has built its reputation on disciplined processes, detailed documentation, and a commitment to getting the job done right the first time.
AS9100 formalizes and validates that commitment.
The certification strengthens RBB’s position within aerospace and defense markets while expanding opportunities to support programs requiring elevated compliance and quality standards. It also reinforces the company’s ability to manage traceability, control risk, and maintain consistent quality across both prototype and production builds.
Beyond PCB assembly, RBB also operates a UL 508A certified panel shop, providing control panel manufacturing and electromechanical integration services that complement board-level production. Combined with advanced process controls and collaborative engineering support, RBB is positioned to deliver complete, integrated manufacturing solutions for high-reliability applications.
But beyond the certification itself, this achievement reflects the people behind it.
It represents the systems our teams maintain every day. The inspections. The documentation. The accountability. The discipline. And the mindset that drives us forward — a commitment to being Always Better. Continually improving. Continuously raising the standard. Never settling for “good enough.”
“Achieving AS9100 certification is another example of how RBB lives out our core value of ‘Always Better,’” said Bruce Hendrick, Owner & CEO of RBB. “This certification reflects the continuous improvement mindset our team brings to every process, every build, and every customer relationship. We’re always looking for ways to raise the standard and deliver even greater value to the clients who trust us.”
Since 1973, RBB has continued to evolve alongside the needs of its customers. AS9100 certification marks another important step forward — one that opens new opportunities while reinforcing the principles that have guided the company for more than five decades.
If you’re developing or supporting aerospace and defense programs that require AS9100-certified manufacturing, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how RBB can support your next build.
