Nel PreTech Expands Regulated Manufacturing Inspection Capabilities with New FFL 07 License

Tinley Park, IL — Nel PreTech Corporation has achieved a significant milestone by upgrading its Federal Firearms License from FFL 01 to FFL 07. This advancement enables the company to enter the regulated manufacturing environment where compliance, traceability, and rigorous inspection standards are essential.

With the FFL 07 license, Nel PreTech is now authorized to conduct manufacturing inspection activities for controlled components. This upgrade is more than an administrative change; it represents Nel PreTech’s dedication to industries where stringent regulations, high qualification standards, and precise inspection are critical. Sectors such as aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing all require nondestructive evaluation as a core aspect of quality assurance and production readiness.

“Inspection in regulated manufacturing is about far more than just measuring parts,” said Greg Nelson, Director of Operations at Nel PreTech. “As compliance demands increase, manufacturers need inspection partners who truly understand traceability, documentation, and qualification risk. Moving to an FFL 07 allows us to better support our customers with the level of inspection expertise they require.”

Nel PreTech is recognized for its proficiency in industrial X-ray computed tomography (CT) and high-precision dimensional inspection. The company enables engineers to examine the internal structure of complex components without destructive testing. These technologies reveal internal features, assembly conditions, material integrity, and specification compliance, even when traditional inspection methods fall short.

This upgraded license directly benefits manufacturers dealing with serialized parts, controlled assemblies, and highly regulated supply chains. In these areas, inspection data must withstand regulatory scrutiny and inform every decision across a part’s lifecycle.

“As manufacturing becomes more complex, inspection providers must meet the same regulatory standards as their clients,” Nelson said. “Upgrading our license demonstrates that we are a technical partner for manufacturers who need inspection data they can rely on, so they can qualify and release parts with confidence.”

Nel PreTech maintains multiple accreditations and operates advanced inspection systems designed to meet the highest engineering and quality standards. The company continues to invest in technology, expand its expertise, and enhance compliance infrastructure to address the evolving requirements of modern manufacturing.
