Certification qualifies Maris-Tech to participate as a prime contractor in defense and aerospace programs in Israel and internationally
Rehovot, Israel, Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maris-Tech Ltd. (Nasdaq: MTEK, MTEKW) (“Maris-Tech” or the “Company”), a provider of advanced defense technology solutions, today announced that it has achieved AS9100D certification, the internationally recognized quality management standard for the aviation, space, and defense industries. The certification represents an important step in Maris-Tech’s continued expansion as a supplier and prime contractor in the global defense and aerospace markets. AS9100D certification is commonly required by major defense and aerospace organizations as a condition for supplier qualification and is also a mandatory threshold for participation in many government defense and aerospace tenders.
By achieving the certification, Maris-Tech is eligible to pursue additional programs as a prime contractor, both in Israel and internationally, including tenders for which AS9100D certification is a mandatory requirement.
“This certification expands the range of programs in which Maris-Tech can participate directly,” said Israel Bar, Chief Executive Officer of Maris-Tech. “Achieving AS9100D certification required a significant company-wide effort to align our processes with the requirements of the aerospace and defense industries. It complements the steps we have already taken to strengthen our capabilities as a prime contractor and provides access to opportunities for which this certification is a prerequisite.”
AS9100D certification builds on the ISO 9001:2015 quality management framework with additional requirements specific to aviation, space, and defense organizations, including requirements relating to operational risk management, product safety, and counterfeit parts prevention.
Maris-Tech’s certification covers the development, design, manufacturing, assembly, integration, and marketing of video and artificial intelligence (“AI”) edge computing systems.
The achievement follows Maris-Tech’s announcement in June 2026 that it had been awarded a government defense contract as prime contractor, and reflects the Company’s broader strategy of expanding its role from a technology and subsystem provider to direct participation in larger defense programs.
The certification was issued by NSF International Strategic Registrations (NSF-ISR) and is valid through August 10, 2029.
