Segue Manufacturing Services announced today that is has acquired ITAR Registration with the US Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). ITAR compliance is a key Segue strategic program to support our Military and Homeland security customers to conform to International Traffic in Arms Regulations under 22 CFR 120-130 and the Arms Export Control Act. This program enhances the existing Segue Intellectual Property and Document control policies.

ITAR regulations were designed to control the information and materials of military related technologies. ITAR ensures that military technologies are only shared with US nationals and persons with special exemption from the Department of State. Upon verification of a company's ITAR compliance, an ITAR Registration Code is assigned and certifies the company's clearance to work in conjunction with the US military and its counterparts. Additionally, ITAR certification expresses the company's obligation to handle ITAR protected products while abiding to all ITAR regulations.

Gary Escher (VP of Engineering/Quality) is the Segue Manufacturing ITAR compliance manager in charge the program. He can be reached at 978-970-120 x107 or gescher@segue-mfg.com. We look forward to discussing our ITAR processes and implementation roadmap with current and prospective customers.
