A leading space communications corporation needed a large quantity of fiber optic components—designed, manufactured, and tested to precise standards—with the ability to scale production as demand grew. They turned to Impact ES, seeking not only manufacturing capacity but also confidence in delivery timelines and supply chain resiliency.
Impact ES had the engineering expertise, manufacturing assets, and testing capabilities to make the project a success. The challenge was ensuring that the high-capacity production requirements could be met without risk of delays, cost overruns, or capacity bottlenecks.
The recent unification of five successful legacy companies under the Impact ES brand made the difference. With a company-wide view of resources, Impact could identify which facilities had the right equipment and available capacity.
Instead of relying on a single location, the work was strategically divided between two manufacturing plants. This distributed approach balanced workloads, maximized efficiency, and leveraged expertise across the organization.
The results were significant for both the client and Impact ES:
Risk Mitigation: By spreading production across two plants, Impact eliminated the risk of a single-point failure and built redundancy into the supply chain.
Cost Control: No rapid expansion or outside subcontracting was required—Impact leveraged existing facilities, equipment, and staff.
Efficiency & Speed: Teams worked collaboratively, drawing on tribal knowledge and decades of customer history across the legacy companies.
Quality Assurance: Full in-house test system development ensured every component met performance standards before delivery.
The client received on-time delivery, at scale, with the security of a partner capable of adapting quickly and efficiently.
Bringing five legacy companies together under one unified brand was not easy—but it has created clear benefits for customers and internal teams alike.
Depth of Expertise: Shared engineering and manufacturing knowledge enabled creative problem solving.
Scalability: The ability to allocate production across multiple facilities delivered exactly what was needed at the right scale.
Resiliency: Built-in redundancies across the supply chain increased confidence in on-time delivery.
Efficiency: Leveraging existing teams and assets kept costs low while maximizing resource utilization.
By doing the hard work of integrating legacy companies into one collaborative organization, Impact ES is able to deliver smarter, faster, and more reliable solutions—with measurable value for clients and long-term strength for the company.
