Review quality systems and certifications
Certifications Overview
At CES Machine, quality is at the heart of everything we do and is embedded into every stage of our manufacturing process. With a climate-controlled quality lab located at the center of our production floor, we maintain strict environmental and process controls to ensure the integrity, accuracy, and conformity of every part we manufacture. This centralized quality approach allows our team to perform in-process inspections, final inspections, and continuous monitoring in close coordination with production, helping identify and address issues early while maintaining consistency across all jobs.
Our commitment to quality is supported by a comprehensive Quality Management System designed to promote consistency, traceability, and continuous improvement across all operations. CES maintains multiple industry-recognized certifications that reflect our ability to support highly regulated and mission-critical applications, including:
-
ISO 9001 (since 2002): Ensuring consistent manufacturing processes, documented procedures, and effective quality management practices.
-
AS9100 (since 2009): Meeting the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry, including enhanced risk management, process control, and traceability.
-
ISO 13485 (since 2013): Supporting the highest standards of precision, documentation, and regulatory compliance for medical device manufacturing.
-
ITAR Certified: Ensuring the secure handling, processing, and control of defense-related components and technical data.
ISO 9001
CES is ISO 9001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to a robust quality management system focused on consistency, efficiency, and continuous improvement. This certification ensures that our processes are well-documented, controlled, and continuously evaluated to meet customer requirements and industry best practices.
ISO 9001 certification reinforces our ability to deliver reliable, repeatable results across every stage of production from order review and process planning to manufacturing, inspection, and delivery. By adhering to standardized quality procedures, we minimize risk, improve operational efficiency, and maintain a high level of accountability throughout our organization.
For our customers, ISO 9001 certification provides confidence that CES operates with disciplined processes, a strong focus on quality, and a commitment to ongoing improvement resulting in dependable performance, consistent quality, and on-time delivery.
AS9100 Certification
At CES, our AS9100 certification ensures that we maintain the highest standards of quality in every aerospace manufacturing project we undertake. This certification enhances every stage of production, from design and development to delivery, by ensuring that we follow a set of well-defined processes designed to optimize quality, mitigate risk, and ensure regulatory compliance.
One of the critical requirements of AS9100 certification is the need for comprehensive traceability and documentation. CES maintains detailed records for every project, including material certifications, process documentation, and test results. This allows us to track every component back to its source, ensuring that each part is manufactured to exact specifications and meets all necessary standards.
With AS9100 certification, CES guarantees that every product we deliver is manufactured to the highest quality standards. Whether it’s a small batch of precision components or a large production run, we apply the same rigorous quality control processes to ensure that each part meets the client’s exact specifications and performs reliably in the field.
At CES, we practice lean manufacturing to reduce waste and improve efficiency while maintaining quality. Our lean approach, combined with our AS9100-certified QMS, enables us to deliver cost-effective solutions without sacrificing quality or delivery timelines. This allows us to remain competitive while meeting the high standards of the aerospace industry.

ISO 13485 Certified
CES is ISO 13485 certified, reflecting our commitment to the stringent quality management requirements required for medical device manufacturing. This certification demonstrates our ability to consistently produce precision-machined components that meet regulatory, safety, and performance standards for the medical industry.
ISO 13485 certification ensures that our processes emphasize risk management, traceability, process validation, and strict documentation control throughout the entire manufacturing lifecycle. From contract review and material control to production, inspection, and final release, every step is carefully managed to support patient safety and regulatory compliance.
For medical device manufacturers, CES’s ISO 13485 certification provides confidence that components are produced within a controlled, compliant environment with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and repeatability. Our disciplined approach helps reduce risk, support regulatory submissions, and ensure dependable, on-time delivery for critical medical applications.
ITAR Registered
CES is ITAR registered, demonstrating our ability to securely manufacture components for defense and controlled aerospace applications in compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This registration ensures that sensitive technical data, drawings, and products are handled in accordance with U.S. government export control requirements.
Our ITAR compliance includes strict controls over data access, personnel authorization, facility security, and process documentation, helping protect controlled information throughout the manufacturing process. These safeguards ensure that regulated components are produced, managed, and delivered within a secure and compliant environment.
For defense contractors and aerospace customers, CES’s ITAR registration provides confidence that projects involving export-controlled parts are handled with the highest level of security, accountability, and regulatory compliance supporting mission-critical programs with reliability and integrity.
