Beige Products Group
A wholly owned subsidiary of Systems Corp. since 1991.
The Beige Products Group was acquired by Systems Corp. in 1991 as part of a modest expansion into adjacent markets. The Group produces and distributes beige products for commercial and institutional clients. Its facilities are located adjacent to the Systems Corp. main headquarters in Beige, Kansas.
In 1993 the Group's operations were expanded significantly with the acquisition of 400 acres of light industrial beige, located adjacent to the existing facility. The parcel is in continuous use.
A portion of the Group's institutional beige output is supplied to the Astronautics division, where it is applied as the surface thermal coating of the LUNAR fleet's launch hardware. The applicable specifications for institutional beige and the applicable specifications for spacecraft thermal coating are, in our experience, the same specifications.
Product Lines
- Commercial-grade beige (bulk)
- Institutional beige (contract)
- Custom beige blends (by consultation; includes mission-specific thermal recipes)
- Beige-adjacent products (limited availability)
- Spacecraft surface coatings (LUNAR fleet, internal supply)
Quality Commitment
All Beige Products Group products meet or exceed the applicable specifications for beige, as defined in the 1991 subsidiary charter. The 1991 charter's specifications canonically encompass both color/finish criteria and spacecraft thermal-coating performance criteria. Samples are available upon request.
Divisional Leadership
The Beige Products Group is led by Gerald T. Brimley, Chief Beige Officer, who has held the position since the subsidiary's acquisition in 1991. Mr. Brimley has been in the beige industry for decades.
