Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, and Babcock are some of our customers investing heavily to meet the surge in UK defence manufacturing. With AUKUS submarine projects underway and export demand accelerating, the defence, aerospace, security and space sectors now contribute over £38 billion a year to the UK economy — up 50 per cent in the last decade. Behind that growth is a complex network of specialist suppliers working to high standards of quality and compliance. Ensuring that supply chain resilience is proven and auditable is a shared priority across the industry.
That’s where JOSCAR — the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register — comes in. It’s a collaborative supplier assurance system used by prime contractors and OEMs to streamline qualification and reduce duplication. It allows organisations such as Qinetiq, Martin-Baker and Leonardo to verify that suppliers like us meet defined expectations for quality management, ethics, security and financial stability.
Intertronics is a JOSCAR-accredited supplier though our limited company name, Cygnet Electronics Ltd. Our participation means that we’ve completed that assurance process, so you have immediate access to verified information through the JOSCAR portal. For you, that saves time, shortens onboarding, and builds confidence that your materials, processes and partners meet the same standards as the industry’s leaders.
As UK defence and aerospace manufacturing continue to expand, JOSCAR helps align the supply network around consistent standards of reliability, transparency and compliance. Choosing a JOSCAR-accredited supplier like Intertronics supports smoother procurement, lower risk, and greater assurance throughout your production and validation processes.
