Five Star Products, Inc. headquartered in Fairfield, CT, has announced that it's entering the nuclear power plant supply market with the opening of its nuclear production plant and quality control laboratory in Chardon, OH. The facility will manufacture nuclear safety-zone products under Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 10CFR50 Appendix B and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1 quality standards starting this week.
Five Star Products' foray into the nuclear products industry "was a natural fit for us," explains David Babcock, President & CEO. "Five Star Products' high quality and superior product reputation is a perfect match with the nuclear power industry. Opening this facility and entering this market is a logical step in expanding our already strong presence in the power generating construction and maintenance market."
"We operate our industrial facilities under the ISO 9001-2008 Quality Management System," explains Brian Feidt, CFO & Chief Quality Officer. "By ensuring that we have these nuclear quality processes in place, and that our products have been thoroughly tested, we can provide our nuclear customers with the assurance they need when specifying our products."
