Gleco Paint & Powder Coating is a registered site on Gleco Plating’s AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certificate, with the export-control and material-compliance programs defense and aerospace buyers are required to verify before they release work.
Request a Quote(972) 475-2726Our quality system is third-party registered and audited on a recurring surveillance cycle. Our Rowlett coating facility at 5020 Grisham Drive is named on the certificate in its own right, with a registered scope of powder-coating, liquid painting and silk-screening services for the following industries: aviation, space, defense, electronics, automotive, motorcycles, architectural, medical, and commercial. Certificates are available for download below and can be supplied directly to your supplier-quality group on request.
The aerospace quality management standard, built on ISO 9001 and extended with the risk management, configuration control, counterfeit-part prevention, first-article inspection and product-safety requirements the aerospace and defense supply chain depends on.
The international standard for quality management systems. Process approach, documented controls, corrective and preventive action, management review, and continuous improvement measured against objectives.
Coating work for defense programs carries obligations beyond the finish itself. We maintain the registrations and material controls that let a defense prime release controlled work without a separate flow-down exception.
Registered with the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. Technical data covered by the U.S. Munitions List is handled under access control; drawings and specifications are not shared outside authorized personnel.
We support DFARS flow-down requirements on defense subcontract work, including specialty metal and domestic-source provisions where they apply to the coating operation and its consumables.
Coating systems are available in RoHS-compliant configurations for electronics and enclosure work, including hexavalent-chromium-free pretreatments where the specification permits.
Beyond system registration, individual processes are approved against the specifications your print calls out. If a specification is not listed, send the drawing — most of what we run was added because a customer asked.
We coat to the MIL-SPEC, MIL-PRF, MIL-DTL and TT-series specifications that dominate defense work — CARC topcoats, epoxy primers, zinc-rich primers, chemical conversion coatings and dry film lubricants among them. Each is run to the specification’s stated cure, thickness and performance requirements with the test coupons to prove it.
Many of our aerospace and defense customers maintain their own approved-processor lists and their own internal coating specifications. We work through those qualifications directly — sample panels, first article, PPAP documentation, source inspection — rather than asking you to accept an equivalency.
A certificate on the wall is the outcome, not the system. What makes it hold up under audit is the daily practice underneath it.
Every process runs to a written parameter sheet — film build, cure schedule, line speed, pretreatment sequence. Operators do not work from memory.
Thickness, adhesion, gloss and cure are checked in process, not only at final. Problems get caught while the load is still recoverable.
Lot and job traceability from receiving through pack-out, with retained records tied to the coating batch and the operator who ran it.
Nonconformances get a root cause and a verified corrective action, not a note in a binder. Recurrence is treated as a failure of the fix.
Certificates, terms and technical references, ready to hand to your quality or purchasing group.
Our current registration certificate covering the aerospace and general quality management standards.
One page covering every coating process we run, the substrates we handle, part-size capacity and the specifications each process meets.
A wall-format reference chart mapping each coating process to its governing specifications, typical film build, cure schedule and best-fit applications.
The customer terms that govern our quotations, order acknowledgements and invoices.
The quality requirements that flow down to our suppliers and subcontractors on purchase orders.
A working list of the military and federal coating specifications we run, with what each one is typically called out for.
Yes. The current AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certificate is downloadable above, and we can send it — along with our W-9, certificate of insurance, and supplier survey responses — directly to whoever handles supplier onboarding on your side. Contact us and tell us who needs it.
Yes. Gleco Paint & Powder Coating is a division of Gleco Plating, Inc. and operates under the same registered quality management system, the same ITAR registration and the same corporate entity. If your approved-supplier record lists Gleco Plating, Inc., our coating work is already covered by it.
Yes. A certificate of conformance stating the specification, revision and applicable process parameters ships with the order on request, and can be set as a standing requirement on your account so you do not have to ask each time.
Yes. We support AS9102 first article inspection and PPAP-level documentation packages, including test coupons processed with the production load where the specification requires them.
Send the drawing and the specification. Most of what we run was added because a customer needed it. If it is outside what we can qualify, we will tell you that directly rather than run it and hope.
Yes. We are registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and handle controlled technical data under access control. We do not publish our registrant code; it is provided directly to customers who require it for their records.
Tell us who needs them and we will send the full package the same day — certificates, terms, insurance and line card.
