Vendor Matrix

HTR operates a unique vendor matrix for all Aerospace and Defence customers. Vendors who are approved onto the matrix have been assessed and passed a suitability study to meet the industry requirements. TR's systems will not allow any parts to be ordered with vendors who are not on this matrix for supply into the Aerospace and Defence sector.
