In 1985, ECS introduced its "Thermo Stamped Composite" transit case material molded on hydraulic presses up to 1,200 tons in capacity. TSC provides an unsurpassed combination of low weight and high strength/impact resistance. TSC transit cases and rackmount cases perform at extreme temperatures, making ECS cases the preferred solution for worldwide military applications.

In 2000, ECS raised the bar again with the development of shock isolated "Slide-Out-Rack" rackmount cases, offering major labor savings during equipment installation, cable routing and maintenance. ECS also developed "Stacking-Rack" electronic rackmount cases with removable, sealed TSC panels on all six faces of the rackmount frames. These extremely compact rackmount cases stack and lock together when the TSC panels are removed and are fully transportable and waterproof with TSC panels installed.

In 2004, ECS developed its LoadmasterTM modular cases, LoadmasterTM TSC rackmount cases and LoadmasterTM rotationally molded transit cases, all of which are dimensionally integrated and employ identical molded-in stacking features. Cases of different sizes interlock when stacked together, making transportation and tactical operation of military electronic systems safe and space efficient.

Introduced in 2007, "Flip-Rail" TSC rackmount cases allow full rack width electronic equipment to be slide-mounted in TSC rackmount cases, with rotating vertical EIA rackmount rails which allow equipment slides to be recessed. Also new in 2007, "Slide-Out-Platform" shock mounted cases allow low-cost protection for individual electronic devices that don't require a full rackmount frame for attachment into the case.

New in 2008, Carbon Fiber & Carbon/KEVLAR Military Cases, the latest advance in rackmount and transit case technology. ECS manufactures these feather-light cases by compression molding carbon fiber and DuPont's KEVLAR reinforcement materials with enhanced thermoset resins. Carbon Fiber and Carbon KEVLAR rackmount and transit cases are extremely light weight, averaging 30 percent weight reduction, and demonstrate exceptional structural rigidity.
