("Minebea") obtained Nadcap (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) certification for "chemical treatment process" for the manufacture of bearings for aircrafts on May 29.




The Company's MPA Division obtained Nadcap certification in 2007 for "non-destructive inspection" and "heat treatment process" for manufacturing bearings for aircrafts. Obtaining certification for the "chemical treatment process" necessary for stainless bearings for aircrafts will enable Thailand to join the UK, United States and Japan in integrated manufacturing stainless bearings for aircrafts.

Minebea will continue to obtain certifications for aircraft manufacturing processes in all of our locations, to establish reliable quality control systems, and to further strengthen our supply system.
