At UKC Group, quality is the foundation of everything we do. Every company within the Group operates to the internationally recognised ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard, demonstrating our dedication to delivering consistent, reliable, and customer-focused products and services. This accreditation underpins our processes across all areas of the business and ensures that we continually review, refine, and improve how we operate.
Our Precision Engineering facilities, including Electropak, go further by holding AS9100 Precision Engineering accreditation, the aerospace and defence-specific quality standard. This positions us to serve some of the most demanding industries in the world, where quality, traceability, and process control are paramount. As an approved supplier to BAE Systems, we are proud to demonstrate our capability and reliability through this benchmark.
As part of our AS9100 Precision Engineering accreditation, we operate to strict key performance indicators, targeting a rejection rate of below 0.5% and maintaining on-time delivery performance above 90%. These figures are audited annually, ensuring transparency and accountability across our operations.
To support these standards, we have a fully resourced Quality Assurance (QA) department, led by an experienced Quality Manager. Our QA team operates independently from production, ensuring impartiality and integrity in inspection and compliance. Using advanced equipment, including a FARO Arm CMM for precision dimensional measurement, our team ensures that every component leaving our facility meets the rigorous requirements set by our customers and industry bodies.
We have established engineer-led testing processes for our specialist busbar products. This process is designed and overseen by experienced engineers, ensuring that performance validation is built into manufacturing. It provides our customers with confidence that not only are their parts manufactured to specification, but they also perform reliably in application.
Our reputation for quality is further underpinned by robust, documented, and audited processes, including:
Full contract review by all relevant departments upon order receipt
Verification of all materials before manufacture, with full traceability and certificates available on request
In-process inspection checkpoints throughout production
Final inspection post-manufacture, including First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) where required
These processes ensure quality is embedded at every stage of production, not just verified at the end.
Electropak is also JOSCAR registered, meaning we are pre-qualified to supply into the defence sector. This demonstrates both compliance and credibility, reducing the approval burden for our customers and further strengthening trust in our supply chain capabilities.
We are committed to delivering quality products and outstanding engineering services, building long-term relationships through reliability, trust, and performance. Quality is not just a certificate or accreditation for UKC Group—it is the foundation of our business and the driving force behind our continued success.
Our commitment to integrity is founded on adherence to laws and regulations, ethical behavior, and mutual respect across all our operations. We are dedicated to upholding our high standards, with this Quality Policy being established, implemented, and maintained by the Board.
When new critical components become globally unavailable, our engineers can employ decades of reverse engineering and manufacturing expertise, solving any complex commercially viable obsolescence challenge.
