Manufacturing Capablilties

FES is ideally suited to the production of high reliability/high quality aerospace and military electronics. Utilizing both modern automated processes and highly trained assembly and test personnel, our Manufacturing team has earned a reputation for quality hardware delivered on-time. We particularly excel in initial builds of circuit card assemblies that are not fully baselined and require significant interaction with the customer's engineering personnel.

FES manufacturing facilities are geared towards low to medium volume, high-mix production of complex assemblies, units, and racks of equipment. Production and testing are performed in the FES manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The overall facility encompasses more than 86,000 square feet, with manufacturing consisting of 40,000 square feet of circuit board assembly, mechanical assembly, cables and wire harnesses, inventory warehousing, system integration and test areas. All manufacturing areas are controlled and protected from the potential effects of electrostatic discharge, prohibited materials and foreign objects.

Manufacturing operations are controlled under internal AS9100/ISO9001 processes and procedures. FES also is also certified to Nadcap AC7120 for Electronic Assemblies.
