Whistler is proud to announce it's now a member of this alliance, and as a supplier of electrical components to the aerospace sector, we look to develop a more local client base.

Aerospace electronic components supply chain in the Midlands

The Midlands has a substantial aerospace sector, one of the largest in the UK and Europe. Whistler Technology, a Midlands based electronics components supply chain partner, supplies a wide variety of product to aerospace and defence companies worldwide. As members of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, we very much look forward to developing relationships closer to home.

S9120 Certified supplying electronic components for the aerospace industry worldwide

Accredited to AS9120, the standard that specifies the requirements for a quality management system (QMS) for stockist distributors in the aerospace industry, Whistler are the preferred supplier of aerospace manufacturers across the globe. Whistler Technology delivers quality electrical components for OEM's, Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the aerospace sector. Electronic components designed to withstand the temperature, shock, vibration, and altitude extremes associated with high elevation operations. From RFI filters for communication systems to barrier terminal blocks for aircraft engines, our electrical components help the aerospace sector make continued advancements.

The benefits to Midlands Aerospace Alliance members

We provide a broad range of electronic components in the aerospace sector and understand the needs of manufacturers to source the highest performance components. Our supply chain network is designed to meet these specific needs of the aerospace industry.

Aerospace manufacturing purchasing electronic components from Whistler Technology for use in aerospace applications are assured of:

Reliability and Quality: Aerospace applications demand extremely high reliability. We understand the components we supply must function flawlessly in harsh environments and withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and other challenging conditions. Which is why our quality control process is crucial to ensure the reliability of any electronic components supplied.

Compliance with Industry Standards: We understand aerospace manufacturers often follow strict industry standards and regulations, such as those set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Our electronic components comply with all relevant standards to ensure safety and reliability.

Traceability: Traceability of components we supply so our clients can identify the origin and manufacturing process of each part. Ensuring quality control to detect tracking and ensure that the components supplied meet specified requirements.

Longevity and Availability: Aerospace systems often have long lifecycles and electronic components need to be available for an extended period. Which is why we ensure any components supplied are backed by a stable supply chain and a commitment to maintain production for the expected lifespan of the aerospace system.

Temperature and Environmental Specifications: We understand aerospace systems operate in a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions. This is why any electronic components must be able to function reliably in extreme heat or cold and resist factors like humidity, radiation and electromagnetic interference.

Testing and Certification: Whistler undertakes rigorous testing and certification processes, providing documentation that demonstrates the components' adherence to the specified industry and regulatory standards. This includes certificates of compliance, test reports, and other relevant documentation.

Cost: While cost is a consideration, it is often secondary to factors like reliability and compliance in the aerospace industry. The focus of Whistler Technology is on value rather than just the upfront cost, given the critical nature of aerospace systems. However, we are told we are highly competitive and are always open to the challenge of sourcing a specified component at a target price point.

Supply Chain Resilience: We understand that aerospace manufacturers are increasingly concerned about the resilience of their supply chains. As your supplier, Whistler Technology ensures you experience robust supply chain management practices to provide a consistent and reliable flow of components.

Innovation and Technology Advancements: As aerospace companies, we appreciate you are interested in adopting the latest technological advancements. Which is why we seek out components that incorporate innovative features, enhanced performance, with the ability to integrate with modern aerospace systems.

Customer Support and Relationship Management: Strong customer support and a collaborative relationship management is where Whistler Technology excel as your component supplier. We pride ourselves on effective communication, responsive technical support and a commitment to addressing any issues that may arise.

If you are a Midlands based aerospace manufacturing company, then we can guarantee you reliability, quality, compliance and the competitive supply of electronic components for the demanding and critical nature of aerospace applications.
