As a leading aerospace and defense prime contractor, your research and development efforts are essential for moving the industry forward. And while most suppliers are unwilling to think beyond their own standard process, we promise to do exactly that. Paulo has a long tradition of working hand-in-hand with engineers and metallurgists at our customer’s organizations to help with research and development. We even modify and customize our processing equipment to meet your unique specs. And, thanks to our advanced process control automation, we often complete obscure, one-off or technically complex aerospace heat treatment jobs that other processors won’t touch.
In the aerospace and defense industries the reliability of your parts is directly tied to the safety and effectiveness of the end product. There’s no room for error, and your standards for precision and repeatability must be upheld by all partners that handle your parts. Thermal processing is no exception. We use a combination of precise furnace controls, automation, and strict quality control and testing practices to give you peace of mind. Dozens of sensors monitor heat cycles in real time and trigger alarms if out-of-spec conditions are observed. And strict quarantining protocol ensures that no part re-enters the supply chain unless it meets specification.
Paulo was the first National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap)-certified thermal processor east of the Mississippi River and quickly achieved the Program’s merit status in both Cleveland and Kansas City. That means that Nadcap auditors were impressed enough by our sites, equipment, and process controls that they audit us every two years instead of annually.
When you’re bringing expensive, highly sensitive components to market, there’s significantly more room for error. Even the smallest mishandling by one of your partners can lead to huge costs down the line. To ensure your parts are handled with extreme care, we use advanced equipment capable of specialized treatment fine-tuned to your exact specifications in addition to careful monitoring to track how components are handled throughout the process.
