The Barnes Global Advisors Partner on Latest Defense Manufacturing Community
The Barnes Global Advisors (TBGA) is partnering with the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and the Secure America Institute (SAI) in a new consortium establishing the Texas Defense Aerospace Manufacturing Community (TDAMC). This five-year program, the result of a grant from the Department of Defense (DoD), will inject targeted smart manufacturing skills and technologies into Texas’ diverse aerospace manufacturing portfolio to support defense aerospace manufacturing needs and affiliated supply chains across the state.
With this announcement, TBGA is now a team member of two Defense Manufacturing Communities, having been a foundational member of the AIM Higher Consortium in the Pittsburgh region. TBGA Founder, John E. Barnes, sees the value of these strategic partnerships in connecting the industry. “Our goal has always been to accelerate the adoption of advanced manufacturing for which effectively making connections across the supply chain is a key success factor,” said Barnes. “We embrace this role as we link organizations and communities with similar goals to provide maximum impact for the DoD’s investment.”
