(Seward, NE, US). Aslan FRP produces and markets glass and carbon fiber- reinforced polymer products, specifically composite rebar, used to reinforce concrete in new and restorative infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, marine structures, buildings and tunnels. "Infrastructure represents an important area of focus for Owens Corning Infrastructure Solutions to both grow our business and provide tangible, long-term benefits globally," says John Amonett, general manager, Infrastructure, Owens Corning. "The addition of Aslan FRP broadens our portfolio of composite solutions." After eight months of development and implementation, Infinite Composites Technologies' (ICT, Tulsa, OK) quality system has received AS9100D certification from the International Aerospace Quality Group, making ICT the first high-pressure, liner-less (Type V) composite pressure vessel company to receive this certification. This documentation is for a high-standard Quality Management System (QMS) that strives to consistently provide the best quality product for gas storage systems. Completion of this certification demonstrates ICT has a quality system in place that is up to par.
