PARAMUS, N.J. – September 26, 2019 Curtiss-Wright’s Surface Technologies (CWST) division announced today that its IMR Test Labs - Louisville facility has earned D1-4426 Approved Processor status from Boeing for conducting metallurgical, mechanical and corrosion testing of aerospace materials and components. The approval of IMR’s Louisville lab by Boeing means that IMR has proven that their equipment, quality assurance procedures, processes and personnel ensure accurate testing and analyses on metallic aerospace materials that are used in the manufacture of Boeing products.
"Our lab employees have worked very hard to earn this important approval. Boeing’s suppliers will be able to confidently and conveniently have their materials tested prior to delivery to the OEM,” said Tom Ackerson, Business Unit Manager of IMR Test Labs-Louisville. “Our commitment to superior customer service and high quality analyses enables the Boeing supply chain to efficiently move components and materials through their production processes without having to ship products great distances for testing.
