French Manufacturer recognised amongst SAFRAN's best suppliers in 2020 for excellent performances in Quality and On-Time Delivery
Paris, France - September 16, 2021 - JPB Système, the leading manufacturer of efficiency-enhancing technology solutions for aerospace, aeronautic and other industries, has announced that it has received the SAFRAN Supplier Performance Award for 2020 - marking more than ten successive years in which the company has won the coveted accolade.
SAFRAN Aircraft Engine issues the award by measuring the number of quality complaints and defective parts per million delivered (PPM), as well as evaluating the supply chain by measuring the percentage of parts delivered on time.
SAFRAN has been a long-time customer of JPB Système's borescope plug solution, which completely replace safety cables or lockwires, increasing efficiency and drastically reducing downtime, human error and overall risks during engine assembly and repair operations.
JPB Système recorded zero quality complaints and manufactured no defective parts during the relevant period, delivering high-standard products 100% on-time for every order placed.
Damien Marc, CEO of JPB Système, stated: "We are delighted to win the SAFRAN Supplier Award for a milestone 10th year in a row, especially with the challenges inflicted upon the industry by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Our efforts in capacity and process management have allowed us to maintain our usual high-standards during a difficult period and the award is a great demonstration of customer satisfaction - which is at the heart of everything that JPB Système does," he concluded.
JPB Système, which celebrated its 25th year in business in 2020, recently announced the construction of a new state-of-the art facility after receiving funding from the French government's Ministry for Economy.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
