Finland-based PCB manufacturer Aspocomp has added Cyber Essentials certification to its existing AS9100 quality credentials, strengthening its position as a trusted supplier to the UK defence sector. The company is also pursuing Cyber Essentials Plus to further demonstrate its commitment to cybersecurity and compliance.

Operating in the UK since 2016, Aspocomp supports defence and aerospace customers with both technical and commercial expertise through a dedicated local contact, Ashley Luxton, a veteran with over 30 years of PCB industry experience.

“In defence programs, certifications like AS9100 and Cyber Essentials are essential. They open doors and show we meet the industry's strict quality and cybersecurity requirements,” said Luxton.

With growing defence demand and limited domestic PCB capacity in the UK, Aspocomp's AS9100-certified facility in Finland offers both capability and flexibility. The company supports complex applications—from radar to aerospace—offering DFM feedback, advanced material handling, and fast project turnaround enabled by strategic inventory.

Aspocomp's certifications and technical strength make it a reliable partner for high-reliability and compliance-driven PCB projects in the UK defence market.
