We embrace a formal continuous improvement culture, continually reviewing its business practices against an internationally recognised framework of Business Excellence (EFQM) and Manufacturing Excellence.
Our participation in the recognised SC21 program has taken this to the next level. As a result we have a much clearer understanding of our business process, refining the internal metrics and providing the necessary tools to achieve the right standards.

JOSCAR
Designed to help prime contractors and their suppliers in the defence, aerospace and security sectors, JOSCAR reduces the time, cost and resources required to collate and validate essential corporate and compliance information. Suppliers’ data held in a central Register can be easily accessed by all participating buying organisations. JOSCAR was established through an initiative by the trade organisation, ADS, and is administered by the third party service provider Hellios International.
For JOSCAR Stage 1, suppliers need to complete a basic online registration questionnaire while for Stage 2, more detailed information supported by documentation needs to be uploaded and then validated by an independent expert team.
Amphenol Invotec has Stage 2 accreditation with JOSCAR, the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register.
