Integris Composites has reached an important milestone in its commitment to defence-grade quality and operational excellence. The company’s Danish facilities have successfully achieved AQAP 2110 certification, the NATO quality assurance standard for defence suppliers. In addition, Integris’ French facility is also AQAP 2110 certified, reinforcing a harmonised, NATO-aligned quality framework across key European production sites.
This achievement positions Integris among a select group of manufacturers capable of meeting the stringent quality, traceability, and risk-management requirements demanded by modern defence programmes.
What is AQAP 2110?
AQAP 2110 (Allied Quality Assurance Publication) is the NATO standard for quality management systems in defence design, development, and production. Comparable to IATF 16949 in the automotive industry, AQAP 2110 builds upon ISO 9001 while adding defence-specific requirements such as:
- Contract and configuration management
- Full product traceability
- Risk mitigation across the supply chain
- Documentation and lifecycle control
- Compliance with military procurement and NATO contractual obligations
For defence customers, AQAP 2110 certification provides assurance that suppliers can reliably deliver mission-critical components that meet both technical and operational demands.
Danish Facilities
The certification of Integris’ Danish operations marks a significant step forward for defence manufacturing in Denmark. These facilities now operate under a NATO-recognised quality framework, enabling them to support defence programmes involving military vehicles, naval applications, aerospace and personal protection.
Achieving AQAP 2110 confirms that Integris’ Danish teams meet the highest expectations for quality, consistency, and accountability in defence production.
European focus
With both Danish and French facilities holding AQAP 2110 certification, Integris offers defence customers a rare advantage: multi-site European manufacturing aligned under a single NATO-approved quality standard.
This dual-certified footprint supports multinational defence programmes, cross-border collaboration, and scalable production for NATO and allied armed forces. It also reduces risk for customers by ensuring consistent quality processes, documentation, and governance regardless of production location.
“Achieving AQAP 2110 certification at our Danish facilities is a major validation of our quality systems and operational discipline. This standard underscores our ability to meet the exacting demands of defence customers, and it strengthens Integris’ role as a trusted supplier of mission-critical solutions. With both our Denmark and France sites now certified, we can confidently support multinational defence programmes with consistent, NATO-aligned quality assurance.”
— Tjalfe Nørregaard Schmidt, Quality Manager
Supporting modern defence capabilities
AQAP 2110 certification strengthens Integris’ role as a trusted supplier within the defence industry. From advanced composite solutions for land vehicles, to components designed for naval environments, and protection systems supporting soldiers in the field, Integris’ certified quality systems ensure products are developed and manufactured with defence readiness in mind.
As defence requirements continue to evolve, AQAP 2110 provides the framework needed to support complex programmes where reliability, durability, and compliance are non-negotiable.
