Aerospace supplier marketing that engineers and buyers trust

Aerospace and defense marketing helps machine shops, component makers, special process houses and engineering suppliers win work from primes, airlines, MRO providers and government buyers. TLG Marketing builds capability pages engineers can evaluate, states certifications such as AS9100 and ITAR registration accurately, runs B2B search, LinkedIn and trade show campaigns, and tracks each RFQ back to the source that produced it.

How aerospace buyers qualify a supplier

Two groups decide. Engineers look for proof that you can hold the tolerances, materials and processes a part demands. Supplier quality and procurement check certifications, approvals, capacity, lead times and delivery history before a new supplier joins an approved list. New relationships often begin with a small RFQ or a first article, and buyers usually review your website, your OASIS listing and your quality documents before they pick up the phone. Programs can run for years, so earning that first approval matters.

Certifications explained plainly

• AS9100. The quality management standard for aviation, space and defense organizations, built on ISO 9001 with added aerospace requirements. An accredited registrar audits you, and certified suppliers appear in the IAQG’s OASIS database.
• Nadcap. Industry accreditation for special processes such as heat treating, chemical processing, welding and nondestructive testing, administered by the Performance Review Institute.
• ITAR registration. Registration with the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, required for US companies that manufacture or export defense articles. It is a registration and does not by itself authorize any export.
• CMMC. The Defense Department’s cybersecurity program, now written into defense contracts and flowed down to subcontractors that handle federal contract information or controlled unclassified information.

What TLG builds for aerospace suppliers

We build capability pages for each process, material and part family using our B2B SEO approach, with equipment lists, part size ranges and the industries you serve. RFQ forms accept drawings, route them to estimating and send uploads to storage your export compliance team approves, since controlled technical data cannot sit on just any server. Account-based marketing and LinkedIn campaigns reach supplier quality, procurement and engineering staff at target primes, and trade show campaigns fill your booth calendar. Many of the same methods power our manufacturing marketing. TLG’s clients include Anthelion Helicopters.
