International Rectifier obtains certifications for Leominster plant

International Rectifier has received AS9100 and ISO9000: 2000 quality management systems certifications for its high reliability (Hi-Rel) manufacturing facility located in Leominster, Massachusetts, U.S. The company is a supplier of power semiconductors and systems solutions. International Rectifier's products include power MOSFETs, IGBTs and high-voltage ICs.

The AS9100, which is based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 quality management systems standard, provides a standard set of requirements for aerospace quality management systems.

"We are committed to continuous improvement and our recent success to upgrade our Quality Operating System to meet the criteria of AS9100 and ISO9000: 2000 was not viewed as a compliance issue but as an opportunity to improve," John Catrambone, VP of the International Rectifier Hi-Rel Products Group said.
