Essex is at the forefront of innovation for advanced aircraft platforms, taking on new technology challenges in human-machine interfaces, cockpit and equipment control panels, and complex components. Essex supplies most US fighter aircraft's primary pilot/aircraft interfaces for flight, avionics, and armament systems. Also, most trainers, tankers, reconnaissance, and transport aircraft have onboard Essex platform controls, aircraft components, emergency passenger oxygen systems/EPOS, or liquid oxygen equipment.

Our 75-year history and success in the extreme MIL-SPEC aircraft testing environment gives Essex an advantage in understanding customer requirements and associated standards in the battle-tested, mission-ready military aircraft arena. This knowledge base spans the product offerings in human-machine interfaces, cockpit and equipment control panels, and related DOD build-to-print components and assemblies. Essex also leads in designing, developing, producing, and supporting ground‐based and airborne liquid oxygen (LOX) equipment and emergency portable breathing systems such as EPOS, PBE, and the VRU+.

Essex meets the customer's production, upgrade, and retrofit requirements by bringing manufacturing expertise, program management, engineering, procurement, technical staff, and quality/compliance controls. Over 75 years ago, Essex Industries began providing solutions supporting our military and has grown to become a leading supplier in platform controls, aircraft components, emergency breathing equipment, and liquid oxygen systems, with over 250,000 fielded products serving the warfighter every day.
