/EIN News/ -- Roseville, Calif., Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PRIDE Industries, the nation’s leading employer of people with disabilities, proudly announces that its Manufacturing and Logistics Services (MLS) division has achieved AS9100 certification through the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI). This certification validates PRIDE Industries' compliance with AS9100's rigorous quality standards for the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution of electronics in the aerospace and defense sectors worldwide.  
  
AS9100 is the globally recognized quality management standard for the aerospace, defense, and aviation industries that also is recognized in the Industrial Manufacturing sector. Achieving this certification underscores PRIDE Industries' commitment to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality products to its customers, further elevating its quality assurance framework.
