Phoenix has partnered with Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (PacSCI EMC) to bolster the national defense, energy and space supply chain, the company announced recently.

“We’re proud to have proven our capabilities at our hub in the Midwest and now are eager to increase our services,” Phoenix CEO Tom D’Orazio said in a statement. “Imaging is a critical quality control function and our partners will be able to supply their customers–including many that are heavily involved with national security–more efficiently than ever before.”

According to a release, the partnership not only grows Phoenix’s overall imaging volume but has the potential to extend the company’s services to the west coast.

PacSCI EMC is one of the largest manufacturers of pyrotechnic and energetic products in the United States and is based in Arizona.
