ISO 9001:2015
Every KC Jones facility — Michigan, Indiana, and Mexico — operates under an ISO 9001:2015–certified Quality Management System. This isn’t a single-site certification. It’s company-wide, which means the same quality discipline follows your parts regardless of which facility runs them.
ISO 9001 is the foundation. Everything else we do builds on top of it.
What this means for your program
- Standardized plating processes and controls across all three locations
- Documented procedures for chemistry management, equipment maintenance, and inspection
- Validated methods for managing your specifications and product requirements
- A continuous improvement framework that drives measurable gains — not just annual audits
- Consistent performance across zinc, zinc-nickel, electroless nickel, phosphates, and specialty coatings
What this means for your program
- Full APQP, PPAP, FMEA, and MSA capability — we speak your quality language
- Demonstrated process capability for high-volume automotive production
- Built-in defect prevention and risk mitigation at every stage
- Standardized control plans designed specifically for plating and surface finishing
- Continuous monitoring and reduction of process variation
Mexico Facility
IATF 16949
Our Monterrey, Mexico facility holds IATF 16949 certification — the global automotive quality management standard recognized by every major OEM and Tier-1 supplier. If your program requires IATF-certified suppliers, we qualify.
For OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers who need tight tolerances, robust corrosion protection, and a plating partner that can scale — IATF 16949 certification means we’ve already passed the test.
Michigan Facility — AC7004
Nadcap Accreditation
Our Michigan facility maintains Nadcap accreditation for the Aerospace Quality System (AC7004) — the Performance Review Institute’s standard for aerospace and defense suppliers. This is one of the most rigorous third-party quality audits in manufacturing, and we hold it because our aerospace and defense customers need to know their supply chain can withstand scrutiny.
If your parts end up in an aircraft, a defense system, or a power generation platform, Nadcap accreditation means we meet the standard — not just claim to.
What this means for your program
- Process documentation and configuration control that meets aerospace expectations
- Calibration, testing, and inspection systems audited to PRI standards
- Formal supplier oversight and quality record retention
- Verified training programs and personnel competency requirements
- Corrective action, risk management, and internal audit systems that hold up under review
Regulatory Compliance
Environmental & Regulatory Compliance
Compliance isn’t optional in surface finishing — and it shouldn’t depend on your supplier getting it right after the fact. KC Jones builds regulatory compliance into our process design from day one.
RoHS-Compliant Processes
We offer a full range of RoHS-compliant finishes, including electroless nickel, zinc-nickel, and zinc-based coatings. These processes are formulated to minimize restricted substances and meet global electronics and transportation standards without compromising coating performance.
ELV, WEEE & Customer-Specific Requirements
- EU End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive requirements
- Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations
- Automotive OEM restricted-substance lists
- Customer-specific environmental and material declarations
Our technical and quality teams monitor regulatory developments continuously. When requirements change, you’ll know because we’ve already updated our processes.
The Bottom Line
What Our Certifications Mean for You
Certifications don’t plate parts. People and systems do. But certifications prove that our people and systems have been independently verified to meet the standards your program requires.
When you work with KC Jones, you get:
- Stable, repeatable plating performance
- Robust documentation and full traceability
- Compliance with global automotive and aerospace standards
- Reduced supply chain risk across multiple certified facilities
- A partner who treats quality as a discipline — not a department
For manufacturers who need corrosion protection, coating performance, and consistent surface finishing at scale — KC Jones delivers a certified, proven foundation.
