REGULATORY DEFENSE PILLARS

Defense Contract Manufacturing Security Infrastructure

As a trusted supplier to Tier-1 defense primes and naval contractors throughout Connecticut's Aerospace Alley, Fabtron Incorporated implements a zero-trust physical and digital defense framework governing all aerospace sheet metal fabrication.

Physical Plant Security

Restricted badge access across all TRUMPF cutting bays, welding cells, and powder coating lines. All visitors must provide proof of U.S. citizenship prior to facility entry, and unescorted floor transit is strictly prohibited.

NIST SP 800-171 CAD Vault

Proprietary solid models (.STEP, .SLDPRT) and defense blueprints are ingested via end-to-end encrypted tunnels into an air-gapped engineering environment. Technical Data Packages (TDP) never touch public cloud repositories.

Chain of Custody & Scrap Destruction

Every production blank carries lot travelers tied to raw certified heat numbers. All classified drop scrap, skeleton sheets, and test coupons undergo certified mutilation to prevent reverse engineering of proprietary defense profiles.

Frequently Asked Engineering Questions

Detailed answers regarding our Plainville facility capabilities, material certifications, testing protocols, and defense contract compliance.

Q: Can Fabtron sign mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) before viewing CAD models?

Yes. Garret Maino and our executive team execute corporate mutual NDAs prior to receiving any flight drawings, solid models, or proprietary OEM technical documentation. We provide a 1-click NDA countersign request inside our portal.

Q: How does your in-house powder coating line protect ITAR chain of custody?

Most regional fabricators must truck unfinished defense parts to third-party commercial platers or coaters, exposing parts to non-vetted personnel and freight damage. Fabtron operates an automated conveyor wash and electrostatic powder coating line inside our secure facility, maintaining an unbroken chain of custody.

Q: Do you supply Mill Test Reports (MTRs) and Certificates of Conformance (COC)?

Every aerospace and defense order ships with certified Mill Test Reports directly traceable to raw heat numbers, full chemical and physical certifications, and a notarized Certificate of Conformance signed by quality assurance.
