In our precision manufacturing industry, “I wish you a happy new year” appears likely to come to fruition for 2024. Consider these very recent forecasts:

Coast Aluminum Inc. Is Truly ‘The Best in the West’ Photography by Takashi.

Boeing lifted its projection for the aerospace market over the next decade, predicting a full commercial recovery by 2024. Recently, they revised a projected a $9 trillion aerospace market over the next decade, up from the $8.5 trillion outlook a year ago.

Announcements..................................... 6-19

In another precision manufacturing industry segment, semiconductor, forecasts are particularly positive. As stated from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization, “The outlook for 2024 points to a vigorous upswing in the worldwide semiconductor market, with projections indicating a 13.1% increase, reaching a valuation of US$588 billion. It continues, “The Americas are forecasted to demonstrate significant double-digit growth on a year-overyear (YoY) basis”.

In Deloitte’s recently released 2024 Manufacturing Outlook report, they expect America’s manufacturers to spend a record amount on development of sectors from semiconductors to EVs, encouraged by federal measures that offer funding and tax incentives.The primary finding of the report is that three federal acts remain key to American manufacturers’ recovery from the impacts of the pandemic and geopolitical conflicts like the war between Russia and Ukraine (yes, sadly war is good for our economy). We have the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Another forecast, this from Mordor Intelligence, says, “For precision machining, The North American precision manufacturing market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 11.2 % over the forecast period. Rising demand for advanced machining solutions and a focus on reducing downtime to increase production efficiency, improve accuracy, and optimize machining processes are driving sales growth.

Key in their forecast is the fact that technology is poised to play a significant role in supporting manufacturers in taking on the challenges they may face in 2024.

The future of machining centers lies in increased automation and integration with other manufacturing processes. Advanced robotics and machine learning algorithms are being incorporated into machining centers to automate tool changing, workpiece handling, and setup processes. This automation reduces human intervention, increases productivity, and enhances the overall efficiency of machining operations. Additionally, integration with other manufacturing systems, such as CAD/CAM software and metrology equipment, enables seamless data exchange and real-time feedback, leading to improved accuracy and reduced lead times.

There are clearly risks manufacturing companies still face in setting their business strategy for 2024; including where interest rates go; a potential recession and the impact of reshoring. That being said, thank the good lord that nearly all forecasts associated with precision manufacturing point to a very solid 2024. I wish you all the best in business, health and happiness for this year. Until next issue, God bless our troops and those throughout the world whose lives are being torn apart by war. We as Americans are indeed a lucky people.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and the Arizona Building and Construction Trades Council (AZBTC) have come to an agreement for hiring, training and safety of workers at the semiconductor giant’s complex being built in north Phoenix.

The mutual understanding between TSMC and the union organization outlines agreed upon priorities to guide the relationship between the two with a focus on workforce training and development, safety, communication and staffing, the two parties said in a joint statement.

TSMC has been in discussions in recent weeks with AZBTC — which works with 14 affiliates, labor partners and contractors in the state — after construction labor unions raised concerns over staffing and workplace safety at TSMC’s construction site.

Local unions started pushing back against TSMC after the company said it had to delay its production start date in Phoenix because of a lack of workers that have specialized expertise needed to install equipment.

TSMC Arizona is now set to start production in the first half of 2025.

623.847.4028 Address : 5815 W McLellan Rd Glendale, AZ 85301

“AZBTC and TSMC Arizona have shown that when we come together to focus on our workers and developing the skills of the future, our state has much to gain,” Butler said in a prepared statement.

Specific areas of cooperation between TSMC and AZBTC will include:

forecast to project future workforce requirements.

The latest agreement is in addition to a workplace safety agreement that TSMC and the state entered into earlier this year for increased safety regulations and standards at TSMC’s construction site that’s located just north of the Loop 303 and west of Interstate 17.

Brian Harrison, president of TSMC Arizona, called AZBTC a “vital partner” in the construction of TSMC’s fabrication plants, or fabs.

•

Site safety: TSMC Arizona will maintain transparency with AZBTC related to safety assessments, audits, incident records and improvement plans.

•

Global workforce: TSMC Arizona will focus on hiring workers locally but may be required to employ foreign workers with specialized experience.

•

Open communication: A committee will be formed with members designated by affiliated AZBTC unions and members designated by TSMC Arizona and contractors. Meetings will be held quarterly, including an annual

“AZBTC union members have the critical skills necessary to help us complete our two advanced-chipmaking fabs, and we look forward to embarking together on a new chapter of partnership and collaboration,” Harrison said in a statement.

The joint statement also said that construction of TSMC’s first two fabs has “already created thousands of prevailing-wage” construction jobs for AZBTC members.

In 2021, TSMC broke ground on its $40 billion chipmaking facility, which has an average of 12,000 construction workers on the site every day. It could eventually build out the site to include six fabs that would provide “the most advanced chips made in the U.S.,” the Business Journal previously reported.

The company eventually expects to employ more than 4,500 workers at its Arizona campus, where it will manufacture 3- and 4-nanometer semiconductor chips.

To date, TSMC has hired more than 2,000 employees for its Arizona fab, some of whom relocated with their families from Taiwan. Hundreds of U.S. workers completed months-long training in Taiwan. By Audrey Jensen – Phoenix Business Journal A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Super Radiator Coils Starts Work On Mesa Facility To Support Growth In Western Region A Minnesota-based company that specializes in heat exchanging manufacturing has planted new roots in the East Valley.

Super Radiator Coils broke ground last month on a new manufacturing building with office space in Scannell Properties’ Gateway 202 development in southeast Mesa. The new building will include 45,000 square feet of office space and 130,000 square feet of floor space and clean rooms area to support advanced manufacturing for the company, which has been operating for nearly 100 years.

“The move to this new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Mesa will give our employees access to advanced equipment and great amenities,” said Tyler Johnson, Super Radiator Coils’ vice president of its Phoenix division. “This move will also allow us to support our customers and continue to be a leader in providing heat transfer solutions.

In addition to its existing operations in the city of Phoenix, Super Radiator Coils has its headquarters in Chaska, Minnesota and an East Coast office in Richmond, Virginia. The company has been in business since 1928 and makes industrial heat exchangers, coils and nuclear products.

Super Radiator Coils looks to have its new Mesa facility completed in the fall of 2024. The company has a strong partnership with another Valley firm, Air2O, which builds huge air conditioning systems for mission-critical clients such as data centers and other manufacturers.

Air2O recently awarded a $2 million contract to Super Radiator Coils to supply custom-engineered fluid coils for its extreme low humidity units being manufactured for a lithium-ion battery production facility currently under construction in Kentucky.

The Gateway 202 park will soon be home to others that have expanded to or within the East Valley. Diversified Foodservice Supply and Concordance each signed leases, for 98,555 square feet and 111,340 square feet, respectively. Both are expected to take occupancy of their space by February with Concordance closer to its move-in date. In October, Houston-based Sysco Corp. started building out its 353,000-square-foot space at the park. It expects to be operational in the new space by the spring of 2025.

“This part of Mesa continues to see businesses making the wise decision to locate in our city,” said Mesa Mayor John Giles in a statement.

“We look forward to helping celebrate Super Radiator Coils engineering and manufacturing facility when it is complete, and we’re pleased to welcome them as they expand operations in our region.” By Ron Davis – Phoenix Business Journal

Packaging is one of the final steps in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips — which are key components for electronic devices such as cars and phones — but is a process that is costly and largely done in other regions like Asia.

Semiconductor chips for technology giant Apple will be packaged and tested at the Peoria factory. Apple (worked closely with Amkor on the “strategic vision” and initial manufacturing capability of the new plant, Amkor said.

The two companies have worked together for more than a decade for packaging chips for Apple products.

Amkor, which has had a presence in the Valley since the 1980s, said it is the only outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) service provider with U.S. headquarters as well as advanced packaging technology capability and high-volume manufacturing experience.

“Semiconductor companies, foundries, and other supply chain partners understand the need to strategically broaden their geographic footprint,” Giel Rutten, Amkor president and CEO, said in a statement. “The announcement of our new advanced packaging and test facility in Arizona is a clear signal of our intent to help our customers ensure resilient supply chains and be a part of a strong American semiconductor ecosystem.”By Audrey Jensen – Phoenix Business Journal

“We constantly have a very active internal research and development department. … our people take great pride in knowing that we are creating solutions for the men and women that serve our country, you know, domestically and internationally, “ Dahlin said. “So innovation is something that’s very nurtured here.”

A GRIFFITHS COMPANY

Building a strong team is just as important as innovation for Dahlin and Amorworks. Dahlin, who favors servant leadership, said that when he first started with the company he brought in a new leadership team, including a chief operating officer, a new chief financial officer and a human resources vice president.

2023 ACE Awards: Innovator of the Year ArmorWorks Since CEO Kevin Dahlin stepped into the leadership role at ArmorWorks two and a half years ago, the company has experienced notable growth, become an industry innovator and built a strong team.

Dahlin said that the business is growing at a rate of 15% per year, with more than 250 employees and three facilities. He projects those numbers will double in the next five years. He rattled off the company’s recent revenue numbers and projections that tells the tale of ArmorWorks’ success, starting with $50 million revenue in 2021, about $86 million expected in 2023 and a projection to exceed $100 million in 2024.

With a 20–year track record in the defense and security industry, ArmorWorks designs and manufactures products running the gamut from armored vehicles A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

“Recipe is the exact word we use, we have a recipe of different materials or different components or different techniques for different levels of security, for weight, for protection of the threat, for costs,” Dahlin said. “So, I think one of the keys for ArmorWorks that differentiates us is we have such a vast library of potential solutions.”

Contributing to ArmorWorks’ growth curve is being able to land big projects such as nuclear deterrence with the federal government and US Air Force.

“So really, our key for the next five to 10 years is all about executing to the contract we have in front of us that we’ve been working on for many years,” Dahlin said. “Right now, it’s just about meeting our objectives, if you will ... we just got a brand new facility by the Chandler Municipal Airport, so we’re expanding our footprint, we’re expanding our employment and just trying to service the solutions that we have in front of us.” By Mignon A.

that are generating more than $5.8 billion in public and private investments, according to the federal agency.

The second funding phase places emphasis on next-generation and lithium-based technologies and battery chemistries. Other focus areas include precursor production and manufacturing for specialized, non-light duty markets, according to the DOE. The DOE is also calling for projects that increase separation of battery-grade critical materials, expand production facilities for cathode and anode materials. It’s also looking to support battery component manufacturing facilities.

Concept papers from companies are due Jan. 9 with full applications due March 19, 2024.

Department Of Energy Announces $3.5 Billion To Spur Domestic Battery Manufacturing The U.S. Department of Energy announced $3.5 billion in funding to boost domestic advanced battery manufacturing and production — one of Arizona’s fastest growing sectors.

The funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is intended to expand facilities across the country for critical minerals, battery precursor materials, components and cell and pack manufacturing, according to a Department of Energy release.

“Positioning the United States front and center to meet the growing demand for advanced batteries is how we boost our global competitiveness, maintain and create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our clean energy economy,” Jennifer M. Granholm, U.S. Secretary of Energy, said in a statement. “President Biden’s historic investments are giving the boost needed to build a robust domestic battery supply chain that is made in America.”

The Department of Energy’s Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains is administering the funding, which is also meant to create and retain manufacturing jobs. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law assigned a total of $6 billion in funding for battery material manufacturing. An initial round of DOE funding went to 15 projects A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Arizona’s battery industry is a fastgrowing sector with companies investing billions of dollars into new manufacturing plants throughout the state.

South Korean battery manufacturer LG Energy Solution is building a $5.5 billion battery plant in Queen Creek, representing the largest single investment for a standalone manufacturing facility in North America.

Earlier this month, the company modified plans at its proposed 1.4-million-square-foot plant to make it a “key production hub for cylindrical batteries in the U.S.” LG Energy Solution expects to begin production of the cylindrical batteries in late 2025 with production of lithium iron pouch-type batteries to follow in 2026, the company confirmed in an email response to the Business Journal.

Arizona Battery Factory recently broke ground on its $1.2 billion battery plant in Tucson. When

.

complete, it’s expected to employ more than 1,000 people with average annual wages of $65,000.

In addition, KORE Power received an $850 million loan through the Department of Energy to support construction of its 2 millionsquare-foot advanced battery cell manufacturing plant in Buckeye. The facility will house several production lines to manufacture batteries for EV and energy storage systems in the U.S. The facility is expected to create 1,250 jobs and deliver products by late 2024 or early 2025.

The Valley’s push for electric vehicles and climate technology innovation places the battery ecosystem at the forefront of economic growth in the area, especially with the billions of dollars in investment from LG Energy Solution, KORE Power and Li-Cycle, said Chris Camacho, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.

“The administration’s desire to onshore advanced batteries and materials production aligns with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS Act and other initiatives, and our region is primed to play a key role in the growth of these industries,” Camacho said. By Amy Edelen – Phoenix Business Journal

Albuquerque-Based Firm Sierra Peaks Enters California With Maritime Sheet Metal Facility Sierra Peaks, an Albuquerque-based engineering and manufacturing firm, is entering California with the acquisition of a maritime sheet metal facility outside of San Diego.

The acquisition expands Sierra Peaks’ footprint, with the company

previously having offices or facilities in Maine, Virginia and Albuquerque. The introduction of maritime sheet metal manufacturing into the company’s portfolio, Goldfine said, allows for more deals connected to the U.S. Navy.

Sierra Peaks has previously worked extensively with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense, primarily with the Air Force. Products produced by the company are a broad range, including microphones, textiles and technical surveillance.

“We’re very familiar and comfortable in the government contracting space and we have, for a while, desired to expand into naval or maritime space,” Goldfine said.

“This is manufacturing metal parts, a space that we’re already comfortable in, but it provides access to the maritime and naval industry.”

The 24,000-square-foot California facility, located in Lemon Grove just east of San Diego, will produce primarily internal fixtures of naval ships, such as HVAC ducts and metal furniture, a Sierra Peaks release said. Goldfine noted Sierra Peak’s

immediate customers will not be the Navy itself, but instead private sector companies working with the military branch.

As part of the Lemon Grove deal, Sierra Peaks will enter a three-year agreement with Trident Maritime to produce components for its ship outfitting projects.

Goldfine said Sierra Peaks had been actively pursuing acquisitions prior to negotiations and made the connection with Trident executives through networking. He said Trident wanted to keep the Lemon Grove facility in its supply chain but didn’t want to manage it themselves, leading to the deal.

As for future acquisitions, Goldfine said Sierra Peaks is open to more, but that it isn’t their primary strategy. Instead, they hope to bring the company’s previous expertise into the maritime industry, such as electromechanical assembly and cable harness production. However, the details of such moves have not been determined, he said.

Powill Manufacturing Adds Haas Horizontal Machining Center to Its Operations Powill Manufacturing has purchased a new Haas EC-400 from Ellison machinery.

The Lemon Grove acquisition also allows Sierra Peaks to produce sheet metal for other areas of the company internally, as opposed to its previous strategy of outsourcing such work.

Kevin Wolfe, G e n e r a l Manager for Powill, says, “This will be our first Haas horizontal 2 pallet mill. We are excited to get it up and running and be able to utilize the latest technology from Haas. As always Patrick and the Ellison team were instrumental in helping us make the right decision.”

“In our other projects, where we’ve had sheet metal fabrication needs for Sierra Peaks, we have outsourced that work because that was not work that we could do ourselves,” Goldfine said. “Now, we would insource that work, because we want to provide cross functionality with this new industry and new capability.”By Drew Goretzka – Albuquerque Business First

It is used by C corps and their ownership/leadership, which creates shares in the company and then either keeps 100% of the stock or gives an equity stake to key employees or investors. QSBS is only monetized upon sale of the company and the company must be a C-corporation for at least 5 years before anyone can gain from this tax advantage. In some cases, investment groups may pool money and invest in the company, and then they would get an equity slice as a consortium. Individuals could gain a tax benefit in comparable percentage to what they invested.

Its biggest advantage is as a powerful tax strategy. When the company sells to a strategic buyer, the first $10 MM in gain is tax free. Another $10mm (or less) for each eligible shareholder can be put into irrevocable trusts for their children or spouse, also tax-free. This opportunity makes a lot of sense for companies that may have larger exits. The money also could be given to a charity or other foundation, which then also receives the tax benefit.

Some owners of smaller businesses may not know about the tax advantages or ability to save money by setting up these irrevocable trusts. In an irrevocable trust, the benefactor relinquishes the right to ever touch those funds again, so they should be sure they want to give away this money.

There is no tax benefit while the company is still operating under initial ownership; it comes just at the point where an exit occurs and stock is sold or acquired by another company. It makes no difference if the company is B2B or B2C. Any stockholders held to the same tax rules gain similar tax benefits. A noncorporate shareholder may be able to exclude 50% to even 100% of the gain from the sale of qualified small business (QSB) stock that has been held for at least five years. It is critical to work with an expert in QSBS programs who adheres to Federal Tax Law 1202.

Each state may handle it differently. California, for example, doesn’t recognize the tax breaks so the business seller still has to pay state tax on the sale.

Other, more tax-friendly, states may not handle it like California does, but businesses would probably have to be headquartered in that other state for a set amount of time. State law applies to wherever the business is incorporated, as well as to where the business owner

lives. Most likely, each shareholder would have to pay taxes to the state where they live, if that state has state income tax.

How would this best apply to manufacturing or tech companies?

QSBS can work quite well for any companies that start small but anticipate a large-scale exit, perhaps especially for those that might have venture-capital investors. However, even in a smaller-scale exit where the founder owns most of the shares, maybe backed by a few family and friends, the tax benefit works the same way. The first $10 million gain in the sale is federally tax-free.

We recommend that business owners who anticipate considerable growth in their businesses discuss QSBS with their tax accountants and financial advisors.Luke Ervin is senior vice president, Wealth Management, and a financial advisor, UBS.

FreePower’s Wireless Charging Tech Gains Traction Since ‘Shark Tank’ Appearance When Phoenix-based FreePower appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank” in 2019, the company pitched its vision for a free-positioned wireless charging surface for smart devices.

On the show, FreePower — then known as Aira — struck a deal with entrepreneurs Kevin O’Leary, Robert Herjavec and Lori Greiner for 15% equity in the company in exchange for $500,000.

Since then, FreePower has grown into a leading wireless technology company, holding more than 220 patent assets for its hardware, software and magnetics. The company has 20 employees and occupies an office in Phoenix.

Now, FreePower is looking to gain a foothold in the hospitality and real estate markets with its new product, FreePower for Countertop, which turns any countertop into a wireless charging surface. The product has caught the attention of Scottsdalebased Taylor Morrison Home Corp., which is partnering to provide FreePower for Countertop as an option in the homebuilding giant’s new builds.

The technology, which is compatible with Qi-enabled devices, can be embedded into quartz, granite and marble countertops. It has a proprietary LED “halo” that’s projected through the countertop to indicate a charging zone, which is large enough to charge multiple devices. FreePower for Countertop comes with an app that controls brightness and color of the wireless charging surface.By Amy Edelen - Reporter A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

Plans to more than double the size of a multinational technology company’s existing Albuquerque manufacturing facility through a $40 million investment passed one planning checkpoint.

The City of Albuquerque Environmental Planning Commission approved a request from Amerace Corp. — a product line under Switzerland-based global technology company ABB — to rezone a site in West Albuquerque for a large manufacturing expansion. Kimley-Horn and Associates, based in Cary, North Carolina, is listed as the agent on the application.

The request calls for an approximately 93,000-square-foot expansion of an existing 92,658-square-foot warehouse at 6625 Bluewater Road NW. That expansion would include an additional manufacturing area and a customer experience center, among other facilities, according to City documents.

ABB, the global technology firm, first announced plans for the $40 million Albuquerque expansion in late March.

Previous Albuquerque Business First reporting shows the expansion could create 55 jobs.

Manufacturing at the expanded facility will be part of ABB’s installation products division, Ralph Donati, the executive vice president and general manager of the United States and Latin American regions for that division, told Business First in March. The site will make cable products used by electric utility providers in grid hardening and resiliency initiatives.

It’ll also extend the company’s existing work in New Mexico; ABB has had a footprint in the state since 1973.

The company is planning a formal groundbreaking in December and expects to begin construction on the facility in the first quarter of 2024, Donati said in a statement shared with Business First on Tuesday. The facility could be complete in the fourth quarter of 2024, and Donati said ABB is “working to finalize project agreements with the development and construction partners.”

Hannah Anthony, public relations and media relations manager for ABB’s installation products division, told Business First in March hiring for the facility will start as its construction ramps up, and positions the company plans to hire for include production, engineering and quality specialist roles.By Jacob Maranda – Albuquerque Business First

Semiconductor Equipment Supplier To Build Major HQ Facility In Scottsdale Dutch semiconductor equipment supplier ASM International plans to invest $300 million in a new headquarters and research and development facility in Scottsdale that will create 500 new jobs.

ASM America Inc., the company’s U.S. arm that already operates out of a facility in Phoenix, said it will build a 250,000-square-foot headquarters near the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Loop 101.

When complete in 2026, the site will be home to ASM International’s North American headquarters and its largest research and development facility among seven it operates globally.

ASM America’s business operations and workforce have grown at a fast clip in recent years, prompting the need for a larger headquarters, said Hichem M’Saad, ASM International’s chief technology officer and member of the company’s management board.

“The current site we have is actually full and cannot really hold more of us,” he told the Business Journal. “We used to have 400 people in Phoenix about five years ago. The site is now at 750. The building can only hold 500 people and we outgrew our facility. Also, we have our lab, so we needed to expand and look for an area where we can have a bigger facility for both our employees and our research and development site.”

50 • Jan / Feb 2024

The Scottsdale facility — expected to be double the size of the company’s existing U.S. headquarters at 3440 E. University Drive in Phoenix — will house ASM’s supply chain, manufacturing and engineering operations, along with a training center and the company’s global software and corporate support teams.

In addition, the project calls for a new research and development lab, and cleanroom with metrology equipment and “leading edge process tools,” according to the company.

Potential amenities for employees consist of nursing, meditation and yoga rooms, basketball and tennis courts, a gym, a full-service cafeteria and indoor/outdoor atrium space.

ASM’s proposed facility in Scottsdale will boost the company’s research and development activities to meet

growing demand in the semiconductor industry.

ASM designs and supplies wafer processing equipment to customers, primarily for deposition of thin films — a fabrication process used in semiconductor manufacturing.At the Scottsdale site, ASM will perform research and development of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and technology focused on atomic layer deposition and epitaxy, which refers to the process of depositing silicon-based crystalline films for use in wafer manufacturing.

ASM is a leading supplier of single-wafer atomic layer deposition — or ALD — equipment for semiconductor companies to make ultra-thin films of “exceptional material quality, uniformity, and conformality,” according to the company.

ASM’s will build new products for testing in Arizona, before moving them to its manufacturing site in Singapore, said Paul Verhagen, ASM International’s chief financial officer and member of the company’s management board.

“There will be a little bit of manufacturing of what we call NPI, or new product introduction. The first X number of new products that we develop will be produced here,” he said. “Then, once we know how to produce them, we’ll move them to our high-volume manufacturing site in Singapore. It’s mainly research and development, but there will also be some manufacturing and new product introduction.”

ASM has more than 200 suppliers in the country, including 30 in Arizona. The company serves customers worldwide, some of which include Samsung, Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.

TSMC is building two semiconductor fabs totaling $40 billion in north Phoenix, one of the largest foreign direct investments in state and U.S. history, while Intel is constructing two fabs totaling $20 billion at its Ocotillo campus in Chandler. In addition, Tempe-based Amkor Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) recently said it would build a $2 billion semiconductor packaging facility in Peoria.

“Both TSMC and Intel are actually next door to us, which are we are very excited about,” M’Saad said.

“We’re actually going to ship some equipment to them. It’s already happening now and it’s going to happen much more in the next years.”

ASM operates manufacturing sites in Singapore, South Korea, Italy and the Netherlands. It opened its NA headquarters in Phoenix in 1976, making it one of the first semiconductor equipment companies in Arizona. By Amy Edelen – Phoenix Business Journal A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

The Artists/ Fabricators/ Engine Builders a t Ta t u m Motor Sports Design and Build The ‘Ferrari’ of Sand Cars

Motocross isn’t the only thing in the blood of all Barbieri family members. In fact, it is their entrepreneurial spirit and the successful businesses that they have founded and run that enabled them to partake in the pricey hobby.

All Barbieri family members have partaken in the exhilarating sport of off road racing. But over the years, the sport took a toll on their bodies, and for the past decade or so, they have transitioned to sand dune off road aficionados.

The youngest Barbieri, Chase, got his early experience in fabrication and welding while in high school in Northern California. “I also was able to practice welding at my father’s custom weld shop, a side business of his.”

When Chase’s parents sold their fuel distribution business and moved to Arizona a couple of years ago, Chase followed immediately after he graduated from high school. It was here that he further pursued his love of welding, attending the Universal Technical Institute (UTI). Once he graduated, Chase went to work for a company manufacturing sand cars, race cars and offroad parts. This company, in business for 30 years, was Tatum Motorsports and it is world renown for manufacturing the finest in sand and race cars. In fact, the Barbieri family had known the Tatum Motorsports owners through their years in the sand dune circle. What fun for Chase to work in a company manufacturing toys that he and his family loved.

“I loved working for Tatum Motorsports”, Chase says, adding, “and I never envisioned that we would buy the company.” They say timing is everything, and just months into Chase’s tenure with the company, he and his father learned that the owners wanted to retire. As the Barbieri’s had recently sold their fuel distribution business in California, they were well positioned to purchase the business.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

52 • Jan / Feb 2024

It is now one year since the Barbieri’s purchased Tatum Motorsports. When asked how this past year went, Chase says, “Exhilarating, scary at times, and extremely rewarding.” He says that the thing he is most grateful for is the fact that every employee has remained with the business since the transition of ownership. “Our team is comprised of machinists, welders, engine builders, programmers and mechanics. We make off road vehicles that can cost in excess of $200,000 and take more than a year to build, so our customers expect the highest quality, most aesthetically pleasing vehicles.

Our team members are all artists/journeymen of their respective trades. Retaining our team certainly made the transition of ownership much easier for us as owners as well as for our customers.”

Tatum Motor Sports’ customers are typically highly successful business owners and they are often 50+ years of age, as you might expect from a customer base that can afford to purchase toys that cost a couple of hundred thousand dollars. When the Barbieri’s purchased the business last January, customers were naturally skeptical of purchasing from the new owners, particularly when they learned that Chase, who runs the day to day business, wasn’t yet even 20 years of age. Chris Hansen, Business Development Manager for Ellison Machinery, the local distributor Tatum Motor Sports purchases their CNC machines from, says, “Chase was raised in a family that has owned and run their own businesses and he learned from a very early age how to conduct himself in a professional manner and how to honestly and effectively communicate with customers.” While Chase isn’t naturally comfortable, by his own admission, in regularly communicating with customers, particularly when there are scheduling issues, he has found that it is better to set delivery schedules with realistic time frames, versus having to deal with customers who are disappointed. He has also found that honesty is the best practice in communicating with customers.

Tatum Motor Sports has a good size machine shop and they have been purchasing their CNC machine tools from Ellison Machinery since long before the Barbieri’s bought the business. Chase says, “When

we bought the business, every machine we had was purchased through Ellison Machinery and all of the machines were Haas machines. Not only were the Haas machines, including lathes and mills, all good machine tools for us, but the service our company has received from Ellison has also been outstanding.” Chris adds, “At Ellison, we have more than a dozen technicians on our team, and there isn’t another machine tool sales organization in Arizona who comes close to a staff this large. We recognize the criticality of our customers’ machines being up and running.”

Chase says that the company is increasing the number of parts that utilize hard materials, including Chromoly steel (a type of low-alloy steel which is stronger and more durable, weight for weight, than mild carbon steel), and 300M, a high strength low alloy steel. “We do a lot of lathe work, and while our 10 year old Haas lathe was still doing its job, we wanted to upgrade our machine shop with a machine that would be better for the harder materials and would enable us to reduce the times to machine parts.”

Chris Hansen had 3 machines in his arsenal of machine tools that would support Tatum Motor Sports’ requirements. He says, “For Tatum’s requirements, the best machine choice was our Hwacheon Hi-TECH 230 AL YSMC Horizontal lathe. This machine maximizes productivity and user convenience compared to existing 8” / 10” models and provides rigid and stable heavy duty cutting based on a highly rigid box-way feed structure.”

He continues, “High precision is ensured even during long-term processing by minimizing thermal displacement. Hwacheon software installed on the machine improves productivity and precision, provides better machining quality compared to existing machines. It also provides greatly enhanced user convenience and maintainability.” He adds, “Chase and the Tatum Motor Sports team value the true sub spindle in the Hwacheon machine, and the robustness you get from a box way versus a linear guide.” Chase adds that they were pleasantly surprised with the price point on the Hwacheon lathe, and though the machine has only been operational for weeks versus months, as we went to print, the company is already seeing tangible productivity improvements. Chase says, “For the 934 Super cage we are building, we have reduced the time to make the parts by ~40% and we expect to take the number of operations from 2 to 1, further improving

productivity.”

Tatum innovates and builds the highest quality sand cars, race cars and off road parts with in-house CNC machining, CAD design, chassis manufacturing and custom engine building. Chris says, “Anybody who participates in the offroad industry covets what these guys build; they are the Ferrari in the sand car industry.” To learn more about their products or if you are experienced in welding/fabrication and would like to work for this dynamic entity, contact Chase at: chase@tatummotorsports.com or visit their website at tatummotorsports.com Ellison Machinery carries a number of fine machine tool lines, including the Hwacheon machine brand.

US Cutting Tool Orders Totaled $213 Million in October 2023, Bringing the Year-to-Date Total Up 7.9% From 2022 U.S. cutting tool consumption totaled $213 million, according to the U.S. Cutting Tool Institute (USCTI) and AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This total, as reported by companies participating in the Cutting Tool Market Report collaboration, was up 5.8% from September’s $201.4 million and up 6.1% when compared with the $200.6 million reported for October 2022. With a year-to-date total of $2.06 billion, 2023 is up 7.9% when compared to the same time period in 2022.

These numbers and all data in this report are based on the totals reported by the companies participating in the CTMR program. The totals here represent the majority of the U.S. market for cutting tools.

“U.S. cutting tool orders continued to show a trend of uneven growth over the last quarter, and we expect that narrative to continue through the first half of next year,” remarked Steve Boyer, president of USCTI. “Aerospace and automotive market indicators show sustained growth for 2024 and 2025. Other industrial market segments have softened over the last six months, and we anticipate some decline into the next year. Labor shortages, retention challenges, and an aging workforce will challenge future growth in our markets.”

Eli Lustgarten, president at ESL Consultants, expanded: “Current U.S. cutting tool consumption data remains relatively strong despite the ongoing softness of U.S. manufacturing. Cutting tools are one of the last manufacturing sectors to return to preA2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

COVID levels. Indications are that conditions will be uncertain for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. The ISM reported that November manufacturing in the United States contracted for the 13th consecutive month as the U.S. economy slowed under the pressure of higher rates and a consumer slowdown.

With the unknown impact of current global turmoil and manufacturing inventories at normal levels or higher, customer orders are being delayed, and companies are focusing on rightsizing inventories. Sustaining current production levels nearterm will be difficult. We expect cutting tool orders to remain firm, with 2023 orders of about $2.4 billion to $2.45 billion, likely about 6% to 7% above last year’s level. The first half of 2024 will likely be challenging; a soft economic landing with lower rates will help stabilize and enhance growth next year. The wild card is international turmoil.”

The Cutting Tool Market Report is jointly compiled by AMT and USCTI, two trade associations representing the development, production, and distribution of cutting tool technology and products. It provides a monthly statement on U.S. manufacturers’ consumption of the primary consumable in the manufacturing process – the cutting tool. Analysis of cutting tool consumption is a leading indicator of both upturns and downturns in U.S. manufacturing activity, as it is a true measure of actual production levels.

Historical data for the Cutting Tool Market Report is available dating back to January 2012.

This collaboration of AMT and USCTI is the first step in the two associations working together to promote and support U.S.-based manufacturers of cutting tool technology.

Mitsubishi HC Capital America Highlights 2024 Trends for Equipment Finance Industry Equipment-as-a-service and sharing models to accelerate in 2024 On the close of a year filled with economic recovery, fluctuation and uncertainty, Mitsubishi HC Capital America, the largest non-bank, non-captive finance provider in North America, is identifying five trends that are likely to play a significant role in shaping the equipment finance industry in 2024.

“Talk of recession, inflation and interest rates have largely replaced conversations filled with worries about the supply chain,” says Chuck McKay, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Mitsubishi HC Capital America. “We may be turning the corner in 2024, with a year of rebalancing before a substantial growth period returns in the following years.”

More cash buyers. As supply-chain stress has eased, commercial vehicle dealerships are seeing more cash buyers and a shortened sales cycle. As a result, dealers will need more floorplan financing to make sure they can keep the right inventory on the floor at the right times. OEMs, looking for ways to support their dealers, will increasingly turn to floorplan financing as one effective way to do so.

business between Canada and the United States continues to ramp up. Lenders that offer strong cross-border financing – beyond having sales offices in each country – should do well in 2024.

Continued increase in as-a-service financing.

Companies in a wide array of industries are understanding the benefits of the as-a-service business model, and will continue to figure out how to implement it. “Instead of financing a single product or a product for a specific use, the as-aservice model effectively allows a company to finance its entire balance sheet,” says McKay. The challenge, he says, will be in the definition and implementation of services to add to a product offering. For example, a trucking company looking to become an as-a-service provider must do much more than just offer lease and sales options. They’ll also need to provide tracking, roadside service, and other support logistics to get vehicles in the right place at the right time.

“Becoming a true as-a-service provider involves wellthought-out strategic and tactical decision-making,” explains McKay. He expects the industry to see more joint ventures, coop agreements and other teaming arrangements. “As-a-service is in the early stages of the growth S curve – and we expect the steepness

of the curve to continue through 2024.”

Rise of asset sharing. Asset sharing is a strategic agreement among businesses to share an asset for the benefit of both organizations. By pooling ownership across multiple users, companies can save money by upping the utilization of devices. Typically, the needed number of assets required decreases, which generally means the overall cost of ownership decreases. Asset sharing, which is more asset-efficient than as-a-service, is already prominent in the healthcare field, particularly with certain imaging and surgery-related machines.

McKay explains that asset sharing requires tracking, maintenance and other support logistics – the same basic core services associated with as-a-service models. “The difference is in the ownership. As-a-service ownership is within a defined entity whereas asset sharing is a network.”

The two models will blur and merge in 2024, he says, and as the equipment becomes more specialized, the more the models look alike. “Key to remember is that you can do as-a-service without sharing, but you can’t do asset sharing without as-a-service.”

Interest rate worries and impacts. Many companies are concerned about the possibility of further interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve, and the likelihood of a recession. “With strong positive indicators – including robust GDP and slowing inflation – it’s looking very possible that we could be in for the mythical soft landing,” says McKay. Interest rates, he thinks, will probably remain at current levels, and may decrease somewhat. “The beginning of 2024 should continue to be a rebalancing period, with the economy growing at potential again in 2025-2026.”

DeRaad said 24 startups were in consideration for the new Ignitor cohort. A network of aerospace experts who work with NewSpace Nexus narrowed the field down to the 12 companies chosen based on criteria that included tech readiness levels, time in business and strength of team members, she added.

Despite not making it into the Ignitor program, DeRaad said NewSpace still provided some resources to the startups not selected, including networking connections and introductions to other incubator and accelerator-type programs.

And, although all of the companies chosen for the new cohort aren’t strictly aerospace-related, all are developing space-enabling technologies, DeRaad said. NewSpace’s Ignitor program is unique from other incubators or accelerators, she added, which typically have a specific market focus or are run for shorter periods.

“I think our key niche is we’re trying to get the suppliers to the money — I say the suppliers to the buyers,” DeRaad said. “We’re trying to expose them to knowing what government contracts are out there, introducing them to investors or introducing them to other partners.” By Jacob Maranda - New Mexico Inno Reporter

Metalformers Continue Expecting Economic Activity to Stabilize Metalforming companies expressed increased confidence that business conditions will continue to stabilize in the first quarter of 2024, according to the December 2023 Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) Business Conditions Report.

Prepared monthly, PMA’s report provides an economic indicator for the next three months of manufacturing, sampling 120 metalforming companies in the United States and Canada.

PMA’s December report shows that 57% of metalforming companies expect no change in general economic activity in the next three months (compared to 49% in November), 13% anticipate an increase in activity (up from 9% last month) and 30% predict a decrease in activity (dropping significantly from 42% in November).

Metalformers also forecast an improvement in incoming orders, with 29% of survey respondents expecting an increase in orders during the next three months (up from 17% in November), 41% predicting no change in orders (compared to 45% in November) and 30% anticipating a decrease in orders (declining from 38% in November).

Current average daily shipping l e v e l s re m a i n e d s t e a d y i n December, with 43% reporting no change in shipping levels (compared to 33% in November), 43% reporting a decrease in levels (down from 49% last month) and 14% reporting an increase in shipping levels (compared to 18% in November). “’C autious optimism’ is how I would characterize PMA members’

outlook as we enter into the new year,” said PMA President David Kotz. “The PMA December Business Conditions Report suggests that metalformers are navigating ongoing supply-chain problems, rising costs due to inflation and labor shortages.

However, this week’s announcement that Nippon Steel will acquire US Steel may result in new challenges.

“The purchase may mean more disruption in the domestic steel industry that could lead to higher steel prices in this country, which are already the highest in the world in part due to the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs,” Klotz continued. “The sale of US Steel to a foreign competitor is yet another reason why the Biden Administration should immediately remove these tariffs on our national security allies. The tariffs do not apply to the parts produced by metalformers, so our members are at a disadvantage when the cost to purchase steel, which accounts for anywhere between 20% to 60% of input costs, is far higher in this country than the prices paid by our overseas competitors, as customers could choose to source the product from overseas. We will continue to raise these concerns through our One Voice for Manufacturing advocacy team in Washington, D.C.” A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

12/21/18 10:14 AM “What we want to do here is we want to continue to foster community,” Kremer said. “We have a lot of different things going on here with the University of Arizona, we have the hypersonic wind tunnel, the optics lab, we have all kinds of things that are going on here in Tucson, so we just want to continue to drive the innovation in that.”

Raytheon’s presence at The Refinery is part of a larger effort to expand community ties with Arizona’s universities to help with recruiting, as well as research and development.

Robbins said Raytheon has been a major partner in research and supporter of the UA’s optics and aerospace schools, citing its advocacy in securing federal funding for major upgrades to the UA’s hypersonic wind-tunnel facilities.

Raytheon — a major provider of front-line missiles and other defense systems for the U.S. and allied nations — is Tucson’s biggest employer with about 12,000 workers at its main manufacturing campus at Tucson International Airport, a major facility at the UA Tech Park on South Rita Road and some smaller local offices.

What Are the Obstacles to Reshoring?

The passage of the Chips Act and the Inflation Reduction Act and the success of reshoring has led to a new demand for skilled workers. However, more skilled workers are retiring than are being replaced, and there is no longer a pool of skilled workers to draw from.

The problem of a shrinking supply of skilled workers has been known for 30 years. In May of 2023, the Department of Labor (DOL) Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) showed 608,000 unfilled manufacturing jobs. A study by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute (MI) predicts that U.S. manufacturing will have 2.1 million unfilled jobs by 2030.

The training programs to produce highly skilled workers are few and far between and multinational corporations are not investing in long-term, high skill training like apprentice training. A January 2020 training survey by the Manufacturing Institute shows that the average number of hours of training, per employee, among its members (mostly large corporations) is 27.7 hours per year. For new employees, it was 42.9 hours per year. The training survey also shows that only 32% of members have apprentice training programs.

Multinational corporations, with few exceptions, are not investing in advanced training that takes thousands of hours in areas such as machining, tool and die, and mold-making. The study says that “75% of industrial organizations identified reskilling the workforce as important or very important for their success over the next year, but only 10% said they were very ready to address this trend.” The 27.7 hours per year seems to indicate that the Manufacturing Institute’s members are not going to invest in training the highly skilled employees they need for the future.

If we are going to save and grow the 11 critical industries, then we will need advanced or long-term apprentice training to train the machinists, tool and die makers, mold makers, forging and foundry workers that are fundamental to the manufacturing processes.

This problem won’t be solved by a couple of classes at a community college or buying software training programs.

What is needed are training programs that lead to journeyman status and take thousands of hours—and most of the skills are attained with hands-on learning, not classroom learning. An example is a journeyman machinist, which takes approximately four years or 8,000 hours to attain the 28 skills needed to become a journeyman on a wide variety of manual and CNC machines.

If multinational corporations are not willing to invest in the long-term skills training to develop and train the skilled workers than the only answer may be government as described in President Bidens Build Back Better initiative.

The root cause of the trade deficit and the primary reason that our exports are not price-competitive is because the dollar is overvalued by 20 to 40%. We have been using lean processes and continuous improvement for decades, but it hasn’t reduced manufacturing costs enough to make our exports competitive.

A study by the Coalition for a Prosperous America in February 2022 illustrates why currency imbalances hurt America’s competitiveness. U.S. producers are trying to compete with these countries, operating at a disadvantage of 20% to 40%.

So the obvious conclusion is unless we can do something to reduce the value of the dollar, American efforts to increase exports are doomed to fail. The inconvenient truth is that

we will never be able to increase exports or create Biden’s 5 million manufacturing jobs as long as our prices are artificially high.

I don’t see any alternative but to steadily reduce the value of the U.S. dollar. One approach would require the Federal Reserve to impose a “market access charge“ on foreign investments in the United States. This tax would cover asset purchases including stocks, bonds, real estate, or intellectual property – pretty much everything foreigners might want to buy, except for goods to be exported. The stated objective is to achieve a current account balance within five years According to a CPA/Federal Reserve model, realigning the dollar by 26% would balance the current account and reduce the trade deficit to zero “ America has finally reached a point where there is a great opportunity to reshore both industries and jobs. If the Biden Administration is serious about creating 5 million manufacturing jobs, it will need to focus on the critical industries that are fundamental to the manufacturing process, invest in apprentice training and devalue the dollar.

Raytheon’s Stormbreaker Missile Now Approved For Use On US Navy Jets A new high-tech weapon built by RTX’s Raytheon division in Tucson to work in the most adverse weather conditions is now in use by the U.S. Navy.

The weapon, called the StormBreaker, was fielded on Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet jets, which is the first aircraft approved by that military branch to carry the weapon.

The StormBreaker is an air-to-surface missile that is able to hit moving targets in all weather conditions and other low-visibility situations, such as in darkness, smoke and dust kicked up by helicopters. The system uses a guidance system with infrared cameras, millimeter-wave radars and semi-active lasers along with GPS and other technology. Those three modes share information with one another, pierce through weather and enhance target discrimination, Raytheon has said.

The latest fielding allowed Raytheon to reduce the number of flight tests required for development, which in turn saved time and resources, the company said.

The StormBreaker missile has reached initial operating capability in U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle jets after being fielded last year. The weapon’s development is part of a $320.3 million contract awarded last year to produce a next-generation weapon, with work expected to be completed by the end of June 2027.

Raytheon is a division of Virginia defense-contracting giant RTX, and its primary missile manufacturing operation is based in Tucson.

Separately, Raytheon said it had successfully showed off its low, slow, smallunmanned aircraft Integrated defense system, or LIDS, over the summer at the Yuma Proving Ground.

The system is designed to fight drones. This year’s demonstration was attended by U.S. Army officials as well as representatives from foreign military services, who saw it meet all test requirements against highspeed, maneuvering targets.

The system uses Raytheon’s Ku-band Radio Frequency Sensor, a 360-degree radar that succeeded in a stress test to detect and track a swarm of more than 30 unmanned aircraft. The system also uses Raytheon’s Coyote effectors to defeat multiple single and swarm threats.

“This marks another milestone in the proven track record of success and performance of our counter-UAS capabilities,” said Tom Laliberty, president of Land & Air Defense Systems at Raytheon, in a statement. “As the threat of unmanned systems continues to grow, the performance and reliability of a complete C-UAS system is critical – and we remain committed to the continuous improvement of these systems to provide our customers with an effective solution to stay ahead of the threat.” By Jeff Gifford – Phoenix Business Journal

The Mountain West And Midwest Are Officially Quantum Tech Hubs. What Does That Mean?

About a month ago, the Biden administration named 31 regional tech hubs to drive innovation across the country. Two regions w e re d e s i g n a t e d specifically as quantum tech hubs — one in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming and another in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Because of the way it works — based on different algorithms — quantum computing can solve problems that are difficult, if not impossible, by using classic technology.

While both quantum hubs seek to bring federal funds to the region, drive innovation and quantum advancements and bring more jobs to the area, there’s a slight difference between the two.

The biggest difference between the Mountain West and the Midwest is commercial readiness, something the Mountain West consortium plans to focus on, said Zach Yerushalmi, chief A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •

68 • Jan / Feb 2024

executive and regional innovation officer at Elevate Quantum, the organization spearheading quantum growth in Colorado and New Mexico. “[Quantum] is the most exciting innovation in the next 50 years. … It’s as exciting as the internet was for the past 50 [years], but project forward,” Yerushalmi said. “The difference is just so stark in terms of what we have now and what quantum can fundamentally enable.”

The Mountain West’s tech hub, called Elevate Quantum, is intended to focus specifically on quantum information technology and enabling hardware to be commercialized, Yerushalmi said. Quantum information tech refers to quantum computing, networking and sensing. Quantum sensing is an advanced sensor technology that improves the accuracy of how we measure and interact with the world.

According to Colorado’s federal designation, this includes increasing infrastructure resilience and strengthening the “quantum hardware supply chain.”

Both regional hubs have been recognized for their growing quantum industries. According to the Colorado Office of Economic Development and Trade, the state leads the world in the concentration of quantum jobs and is home to four Nobel Prize-winning scientists for

their quantum research. The Centennial State also houses quantum companies such as Atom Computing, Maybell, Infleqtion and Quantinumm.

New Mexico boasts its own quantum ecosystem, focused primarily on research.

National labs like Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory, as well as the University of New Mexico (UNM), a tier-one research institution, house programs focused on quantum information science — what Ivan Deutsch, Ph.D., director of UNM’s Center for Quantum Information and Control, called the “foundation which quantum computing and other related areas are founded.”

While the Mountain West holds large research institutions and the headquarters of growing quantum companies, the Midwest shares some similarities. Chicago, home to the University of Chicago, one of the country’s premier research universities, is a leader in quantum networking, for instance, Yerushalmi said. Quantum networking is a way to transmit data and information as qubits between physically separated processors.

In addition to research institutions like the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin are also home to quantum startups like EeorQ and MemQ. The Windy City is also home to the first quantum accelerator in the country. A quantum facility called the Superconducting Quantum Materials and System Centers Garage also recently opened at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Chicago. The city even received a $3.5 million investment from The Boeing Co. Both quantum tech hubs are seeking additional funding from the federal government and local organizations. Work to do so is already underway.

www.azmep.org Colorado hopes to secure $2 billion, including between $40 million to $75 million in federal grants early next year. The Colorado Office of Economic Development and Trade also recently dedicated $400,000 to Elevate Quantum.

Of the 31 regional tech hubs, five to 10 will receive implementation grants from the U.S. Economic Development Administration as part of Phase 2 of the tech hub designations. Each of the 31 tech hubs can now submit applications spelling out projects to fund related to their regional designation.

“For each Tech Hubs selected for implementation grants, [the] EDA expects to fund approximately three to eight tightly aligned projects ... that aim to collectively address the region’s key inhibitors of global competitiveness,” the EDA wrote in a post about Phase 2 funding.By Cassidy Ritter and Jacob Maranda – Albuquerque Business First A2Z MANUFACTURING SW •
