Advanced Honeycomb Technologies achieves AS9100 Revision D certification

One of Kordsa’s U.S. based subsidiaries, Advanced Honeycomb Technologies, manufacturing honeycomb cores for aerospace and industrial applications, has received AS9100 certification. AS9100 is the internationally recognized quality management system for the aviation, space and defense industries.

Committed to the highest quality standards in aerospace, Advanced Honeycomb Technologies (AHT), which manufactures honeycomb cores for aerospace and commercial applications, has obtained AS 9100 Revision D certification. As the ultimate global benchmark for aerospace and defense quality management, this certification demonstrates AHT’s ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer needs while meeting applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

Kordsa COO – Composites, Murat Arcan, commenting on the achievement of the certificate, shared that “While the quality requirements for aerospace suppliers continue to become more stringent, AHT is committed to providing the industry with the highest quality products. This achievement is consistent with our goal to continue to expand our honeycomb manufacturing capabilities and grow AHT’s global honeycomb business”.




AHT located in San Marcos, CA was acquired by Kordsa in early 2018. Kordsa is a global player in the tire and construction reinforcement as well as composite technologies markets. Kordsa’s composite facility in Turkey, the Composite Technologies Center of Excellence, is also AS9100 certified.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI reshape textile processing

Investment decisions in textile processing have become increasingly complex. Rising energy prices, labour shortages and geopolitical uncertainties are forcing companies to prioritise technologies that deliver measurable improvements in efficiency and process stability. This applies not only to apparel production, but also to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. Modernisation projects are therefore being evaluated more selectively – but the pressure to upgrade production systems continues to grow. Texprocess 2026 reflects this tension between cautious investment behaviour and increasing technological demand.
