Atlantic Aerospace earns QSLD Approval; Hires Purchasing Pro
WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA - Atlantic Aerospace has earned QSLD approval to sell rivets, Class 2 and Class 3 threaded products to the federal government.

The QSLD, or Qualified Suppliers List for Distributors, is a pre-qualified list of sources that the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) uses to purchase products. Fewer than 130 distributors nationwide are QSLD qualified to sell rivets, Class 2 and Class 3 threaded products.
Class 3 threaded fasteners are typically used in aerospace applications, while Class 2 are primarily used in land and maritime applications.
To earn qualification, Atlantic was audited by the DLA, which reserves the right to re-audit at any time. The QSLD is a renewable, three-year qualification.
To assist with the Aerospace division’s consistent growth, Atlantic has hired Joshua Holmes, a purchasing pro, for its Gray, Maine office. We look forward to working with Holmes and utilizing his expertise in the purchasing field.
