In the Heart of Aviation: Simtek’s Strategic Location Near DFW Airport

Dallas Skyline

At Simtek, our location is more than just an address—it’s a strategic advantage.

Based in Euless, Texas, we’re situated just minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), one of the busiest aviation hubs in the world. Being this close to a major airport—and to key aviation and defense companies—helps us stay deeply connected to the real-world operations our simulated avionics are built to support.

Minutes from DFW: Easy Acces

s for Customers and Partners

Our proximity to DFW Airport makes it incredibly easy for customers, partners, and prime contractors to:

• Fly in for design reviews, factory tours, and acceptance testing

• Visit our facility to see engineering, machining, wiring, paint, and laser engraving all under one roof

• Collaborate in person on new platforms, upgrades, and long-term programs

Whether you’re coming from across Texas or across the world, our location near DFW keeps travel simple and efficient—so more time is spent on meaningful collaboration and less on logistics.

Surrounded by Aviation & Defense: American, Southwest, Bell, and Lockheed

We’re proud to be located in a region that truly lives and breathes aviation and defense.

With friends and industry contacts at American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Bell Helicopter, and Lockheed Martin, we’re never far from the people who operate, design, and support real aircraft and training systems every day.

Being in this environment allows us to:

• Stay in tune with the needs of end users—pilots, crews, maintainers, and instructors

• Understand how airlines, rotorcraft operators, and defense programs approach training and readiness

• Work closely with prime contractors and integrators who build and sustain complex simulation and training solutions

That day-to-day exposure helps shape the way we design and build simulated control panels, displays, and instruments—always with real aircraft and real missions in mind.

Working Closely With End Users and Prime Contractors

Our location and relationships make it easier for Simtek to act as a true collaborative partner, not just a hardware supplier.

We work closely with:

• End users to understand how cockpit hardware is used, stressed, and evaluated in real training scenarios

• Prime contractors like Lockheed Martin and others to align our designs with their system architectures, schedules, and platform requirements

• Training organizations and operators to support lifecycle needs, from new builds to refresh and sustainment

With so many key players within a short flight—or drive—of DFW, face-to-face collaboration becomes part of our normal workflow, not a rare exception.

Built in Texas, Connected to the Industry

From our facility in Euless, Texas, Simtek designs and manufactures:

• High-fidelity simulated avionics

• Control panels, displays, and instruments

• Interfaces and solutions tailored to military, commercial, and general aviation training

Our central location near DFW—surrounded by American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Bell Helicopter, and Lockheed Martin—helps ensure we stay aligned with what the industry really needs:reliable, realistic, and maintainable hardware that supports serious training.

If you’re planning a visit, a program review, or looking for a partner who’s both technically capable and easy to reach, we’d be glad to welcome you to Simtek in the heart of DFW aviation country.
