Today marks a major milestone for Simtek.
Since our founding in 1978, we have officially issued our 10,000th part number—a benchmark that represents decades of engineering excellence, manufacturing discipline, and unwavering commitment to our customers.
What 10,000 Part Numbers Really Means
This isn’t just a number.
It’s 10,000 unique solutions—each one engineered, built, and delivered to support high-fidelity training systems across the globe. From cockpit control panels and displays to complex avionics assemblies, every part we produce is designed with one goal in mind:
Deliver OEM-level realism with uncompromising reliability.
In training environments where systems run around the clock, performance isn’t optional. Our products are built to withstand continuous use, repeated interaction, and demanding operational conditions—often exceeding the durability requirements of their real-world counterparts.
Nearly One New Part Number—Every Workday
When you break it down, this milestone becomes even more meaningful:
Since 1978, Simtek has issued nearly one new part number every single workday.
That level of sustained output reflects more than productivity—it reflects:
Continuous innovation
Long-term customer partnerships
The ability to adapt across platforms, technologies, and generations
Supporting Legacy and Next-Generation Platforms
Over the years, Simtek has supported a wide range of platforms—from legacy aircraft still in operation today to next-generation training systems shaping the future of aviation.
Our team understands that no two programs are the same. Each new part number represents a tailored solution, engineered to meet specific technical requirements while maintaining the look, feel, and function of original equipment.
Built in Texas. Trusted Worldwide.
Based in Euless, Texas, Simtek operates a 29,000 sq. ft. facility where everything is done under one roof—from engineering and machining to assembly, testing, and final delivery.
This vertically integrated approach allows us to:
Maintain strict quality control
Reduce lead times
Ensure consistency across every build
More importantly, it allows us to stand behind every part we produce.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating—But Not Slowing Down
Reaching 10,000 part numbers is a significant achievement, but it’s not the finish line.
It’s proof of what happens when you combine experience, capability, and a relentless focus on delivering results.
At Simtek, we’re not just keeping pace with the industry—we’re helping drive it forward.
We’re just getting started.
