Overview
Astronics Test Systems, a subsidiary of Astronics Corporation, specializes in delivering innovative test solutions for mission-critical electronic systems across aerospace, military, mass transit, and space industries. With a commitment to technological excellence and operational efficiency, Astronics sought to modernize its office spaces to reflect its high-tech ethos and enhance workplace functionality.

Challenge
In a dynamic environment where confidentiality and collaboration coexist, Astronics faced the challenge of balancing open, light-filled spaces with the need for privacy during sensitive discussions and testing procedures. Traditional solutions like blinds or curtains were inconsistent with the company’s modern aesthetic and technological standards.
