Mott receives quality award from Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as part of Nasa's supplier outreach and process control initiative
Mott was named a recipient of a certificate of recognition under Nasa's supplier outreach and process control initiative by Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The award acknowledges Mott's accomplishments in implementing and sustaining innovative quality and process controls throughout their organisation.
Mott is the first company to be so recognised by JPL for its quality programme.
Roger Klene, president and CEO of Mott, accepted a certificate from representatives from Jet Propulsion Laboratory during a meeting held at Mott on 20 June 2002.
Mott supplies porous metal products to JPL for use by Nasa in filtration, flow control and heat transfer application parts that support numerous unmanned space missions.
These products include gas filters, liquid filters, restrictors and various sintered porous metal shapes for use in valves and other filtration and separation devices.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed by the California Institute of Technology, is Nasa's lead center for robotic exploration of the solar system.
The Herschel Planck telescope, Deep Space-1 spacecraft and Jewel Thomsom valve are just a couple of its innovative developments that include Mott porous metal products.
