He also went on to note that "Operating a manufacturing facility in Mexico under the auspices of The Offshore Group's Mexico Shelter Plan facilitated our pursuit of this accreditation by freeing us from concerns related to non-core functions, and enabling us to focus on our manufacturing processes and their quality, as well as on the expansion and refinement of the services that we deliver to companies in Mexico's growing aerospace industry."

Joseph Pinto, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at the Performance Review Institute, the not-for-profit organization that administers the Nadcap, observed that "Achieving Nadcap accreditation is no small feat.
