DRS Infrared Technologies is a supplier of defense electronic systems to government and commercial customers worldwide.

GSCS is the centralized materials management provider for DRS’ Thermal Weapon Systems (TWS), supporting the Dallas, TX headquarters and manufacturing in Dallas, TX and Irvine, CA. DRS started working with GSCS in early 2005, rapidly increased its scope, and rolled out the implementation of the GSCS model into other DRS divisions.

“GSCS gives DRS the ability to control our material without the overhead. They provide sourcing, procurement, and management of our material across multiple products and manufacturing sites. Now, DRS has the ability to utilize available inventories for future builds and avoid incremental material costs. GSCS has proven to be a competitive and trustworthy source as our complete materials solution.”

Honeywell International is a diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.

GSCS was selected as a Preferred Supplier for Honeywell in 2007.

“At first, GSCS provided support to Honeywell in locating critical components for a ground proximity unit for aircraft systems that we build for Boeing. Then, through their Parts Verification and Certification Process (PVCP), GSCS detected and isolated a counterfeit product and prevented us from putting these components into a vital subsystem. Taking it a step further, they coordinated with the Original Component Manufacturer (OCM) to make one last production run for these critical parts and complete our program.”

ION is a leading technology-focused seismic solutions company. It is a part of family of companies that provides advanced acquisition equipment, software and planning and seismic processing services to the global oil and gas industry.

Since mid-2006, GSCS has been the managed materials organization for ION's Land Imaging Systems Division and is responsible for maintaining the pipeline of material supporting seven product lines across multiple manufacturing sites.

“We purchase materials through GSCS, which combines our buying power with GSCS’ buying power. Since they also perform this function for other clients, we get the benefit of larger volume prices and better relationships with big suppliers. Most importantly, I have the benefit of a single point of contact with them."

Ambrado has developed state of the art video compression and image processing solutions that provide 15 times the processing power compared to any solution available in the market.

Ambrado is an early-growth company with very specific materials solution needs: aggressive timelines, strong design support and close working partnerships with its engineering staff. GSCS is Ambrado’s select partner for managed materials, starting 2008.
