August 5, 2003 -- The Boeing Supplier Performance Management System has distinguished LKD Aerospace, Inc. of Issaquah, WA as a “Gold” Supplier. Less than 0.1% of all suppliers hold Boeing’s Gold rating and LKD has received that distinction for both Quality and On-Time Delivery. This places LKD Aerospace in the highest echelon of aerospace suppliers.
“LKD Aerospace has built its reputation on a total commitment to customer service and shipping quality parts on-time all over the world, so this is a proud accomplishment for every member of the LKD team,” states Kristy Chamberlain, LKD Vice-President of Sales and Operations.

“Over the last 12 months we have shipped in excess of 25,000 parts to Boeing with every order delivered on time and not one part being rejected. That’s a record we strive for with each customer and with every order,” says LKD’s Chamberlain.
