Diehl Controls has reached a significant milestone: following an intensive, multi-stage audit process, the company’s Wangen site is now officially certified according to EN 9100 – the internationally recognized quality standard for the aerospace and defense industries.
This certification is the result of a multi-year project that began back in 2020 with an initial requirements analysis. In 2024, the initiative was officially launched and consistently advanced in close collaboration with the consulting firm QAS and a cross-functional team from production, logistics, quality, and procurement. More than 100 defined tasks were successfully implemented – a testament to the high level of professionalism and strong team spirit at Diehl Controls.
“The EN 9100 certification is much more than a quality seal for us. It is the key to new business areas in highly regulated markets with great growth potential,” explains Fred Appold, Vice President Corporate Quality. “This step represents a strategic expansion, especially for our Wangen site – with positive effects for all Diehl Controls locations worldwide.”
The certification opens the door for Diehl Controls to customers in the aerospace and defense sectors – industries with particularly high demands for quality, safety, and reliability.
The successful completion of the audit marks a turning point: Diehl Controls is ready to enter new markets and further strengthen its position as a reliable partner for demanding industries.
A special thank you goes to all employees whose commitment, expertise, and perseverance made this success possible.
