Corporate Overview VEXTEC Corporation was founded in 2000. The company began as a consulting and research and development firm exploring the fundamental nature of how materials behave in complex systems. The work took two distinct paths: the company’s material science experts focused on developing a virtual material simulation tool, while computational experts focused on correlating the simulation from material behavior to predicting fleet performance and business impacts. This important technology was supported by various government agencies and Fortune 100 companies. As a result of its work and expertise in this field, the company was able to map material microstructure, the genetic code of materials, and simulate its behavior in manufactured products. Like DNA, in which every cell contains resident genetic information, every material has a microstructure that determines its behavior. This microstructure is the key to understanding how materials behave, and more importantly, predicting how they’re going to behave. By applying this understanding to the materials used in the components a company manufactures, VEXTEC can simulate – with a very high degree of accuracy – the behavior of that component, the life expectancy of a complex system made up of those components – an engine, for instance – and by extension, the performance of an entire product fleet. VEXTEC calls this capability Virtual Life Management. It is the only company to offer this capability. Today, VEXTEC Corporation is a managed services company that provides manufacturing, aerospace, and electronics companies with accurate, invaluable information about the behavior and life expectancy of their components, systems, and product lots or even fleets. This information has profound economic and strategic implications for every aspect of a business, from product development to warranty costs. Even at this early stage, the company has an impressive track record of successful deployments. VEXTEC Corporation has a comprehensive staff of engineering, scientific and software development, and business application specialists headquartered in Brentwood, TN, a suburb of Nashville. The company is privately held.
