YONKERS, N.Y. -- Crestwood Technology Group (CTG), www.CTG123.com, is proud to announce the certification of all its quality assurance personnel as Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) Certified Professional Inspectors. CTG takes pride in the fact that it is an industry leader in quality assurance and counterfeit avoidance.

In a marketplace flooded with counterfeit parts, CTG's Authent-Assure(SM) program makes certain that the US military, and defense and aerospace contractors are acquiring only genuine parts and equipment.

"Counterfeit parts may lead to loss of lives and weakened defense," says Denise Gilchrist, President of Crestwood Technology Group. "But CTG's counterfeit avoidance practices and authentication processes protect our clients, our client's customers, and the men and women who depend upon their products."

CTG is the only distributor of its kind with quality certifications in ISO 9000, AS 9120, and ANSI/ESD. Its inspection processes exceed the IDEA-STD-1010A standard. Outstanding quality assurance is just one of the reasons CTG's clients include the U.S. military and virtually all of the leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, BAE Systems, Honeywell, NASA, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Bombardier, Goodrich and many more.

Since the nonprofit trade association group, IDEA released its Inspector's Certification Program in July 2007 many IDEA member companies have required their quality and inspection personnel to successfully complete the IDEA-ICE-3000 Inspector's certification exam. CTG is an IDEA member company that has completed its quality objective to ensure each of their inspectors successfully completed the exam within three months after the exam became available.

Debra N. Eggeman, General Manager of IDEA states, "Crestwood is to be highly commended for their rapid achievement in ensuring that each of their inspectors and members of quality management successfully completed this extensive exam. There's no doubt that their customers will appreciate that Crestwood's quality team is IDEA-ICE-3000 certified."

CTG stocks military and aerospace level parts including: electronic components, electromechanical parts, aerospace parts, cable assemblies, capacitors, combat vehicle parts, connectors, diodes, fuses, hardware, integrated circuits, microcircuits, microelectronics, relays, resistors, semiconductors, switches, transistors, wire/cable, and much more. CTG stocks JAN, JANTX, JANTXV and JANS level diodes and transistors from Microsemi and many others. MFG certs and trace are available with much of the inventory.

CTG helps the U.S. military maintain operational readiness with the Rapid Quote system and immediate delivery of critical parts that are: in stock, immediately available, ready to ship. CTG clients know that when procurement is critical, CTG can promptly deliver even obsolete, hard-to-find and heavily allocated parts as well as parts for discontinued equipment.
