Established by a top team of experienced aerospace professionals in 2001, GRACE Electronics provides quality products and personnel for America's Defense and Aerospace industries.

The company's fully equipped 36,000 sq ft facility is strategically located in the industrial park directly adjacent to the LI MacArthur Airport in Bohemia, New York. In addition to in-house engineering, manufacturing, machining, assembly and test capabilities, GRACE has a fully integrated supply chain that can deliver complete turn-key services, from design concept and prototype fabrication to full scale production. With 60 full-time employees and 20 part-time specialists capable of solving complex problems with an unrivalled degree of technical expertise and skill, they also supply highly qualified engineers and scientists for temporary assignments.

Being committed to bringing the highest level of quality and service to customers at greatly reduced costs, and also aware of today's quality system requirements, GRACE Electronics achieved ISO9001 certification in July 2004, guided by IMSM.

Quality Manager Rick Appio told Quest: "In our business it is essential that our company is totally focused on our quality and the needs of our customers. This is also true of our suppliers as each of us is ultimately a link in the supply chain. Every link is as important as the next. The uniform standards of ISO enable us and our suppliers to align ourselves effectively to satisfy the needs of our ultimate customers. In today's market, we wouldn't even be considered as suppliers for aerospace products without this certification. Since achieving our ISO9001 certification GRACE has been approved as a supplier for two prime contractors and we are continuing to expand our business base."
