No Large City Grew Faster Than Phoenix.

Phoenix vaulted ahead of Philadelphia to officially become the fifth-biggest city in the United States since the last census.

The census numbers confirmed the scorching pace of growth in Phoenix.

Arizona’s desert capital grew at the fastest rate among America’s biggest cities, vaulting it ahead of Philadelphia to officially become the fifth-biggest city in the United States since the last census.

Phoenix’s population grew from 1.4 million people in 2010 to 1.6 million in 2020, a rate of 11.2 percent, according to the Census Bureau.

The increase has been fueled not just by immigration and sun-seeking retirees but also by the arrival of tech companies and middle-class families from California and other more expensive parts of the country seeking more affordable housing.

The Phoenix metro area continued to sprawl outward into the desert, with outlying suburbs such as Buckeye growing by nearly 80 percent over the past 10 years. But Phoenix is also growing up, booming with new condo towers and rowhouses filling in the downtown.

All this growth has raised anxieties about how the region will supply enough water for all the new residents and their yards when brutal droughts and hotter summers are draining rivers and reservoirs.

The population boom across Phoenix and surrounding Maricopa County has also translated into a political shift. President Biden narrowly won Arizona’s 11 electoral votes last November, eking out a win in what had once been a reliably Republican presidential state. Even before the pandemic, they were leaving major cities like New York, Los Angeles,

www.flexproaz.com and Miami and moving to less populated cities across the US. One of these cities was Phoenix, Arizona.

In 2019, 5,958 millennials migrated to Phoenix, according to SmartAsset, which used the most recently available US Census Bureau data. The migration meant that 23% of Phoenix’s population was millennials. In April, CNBC reported that the trend of moving to Phoenix continued during the pandemic, citing data shared by LinkedIn and U-Haul.

“Young, wealthy people are increasingly opting to put down roots in Arizona, a sign of the changing demographics that challenge the state’s longstanding reputation as a haven for retirees,” Insider’s Natasha Solo-Lyons wrote in July. “In particular, the capital of Phoenix ... has attracted relocators from coastal and Midwestern cities seeking a cheaper, more laid-back life.”

Announcements & Releases PMA Industries Commitment to Excellence PMA Industries is a leading photo-chemical etching manufacturer in North America. We produce products using photo-chemical etching and other processes for dozens of industries worldwide.

Dies Direct is pleased to announce the launch of its new offering of Hot Foil Stamps. The new offering features an attractive heat-resistant copper finish, is made from a different grade of steel than our classic offering – which now makes it compatible with nearly all hot foil platforms, and still carries small minimum order quantities. For those that have not offered Hot Foil stamps to their customers in the past, the versatility of this new offering may be particularly attractive – as now your customers can use your designs manufactured by Dies Direct on any of the popular Hot Foil machines in the market.

Dies Direct originally began producing Hot Foil stamps in 2019. The original offering is made from a thicker grade of steel and features a navy finish. This original design of Hot Foil stamps from Dies Direct will continue to be produced for those customers that prefer the classic look, feel and usability of this classic design.

Recent environmental regulation updates in the United States require many industries to migrate to a low-volatile organic compound (or “low A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

VOC”) content paint. Craft dies require a tremendously rugged paint to withstand the pressures created at the cut line – a demand that required a significant amount of research on Dies Direct’s part during 2020 to ensure the dies would achieve the same (or better) end-product using a low-VOC paint formula.

After significant cost, time, and effort, Dies Direct is happy to announce die production is moving to a low-VOC paint for all newly produced dies by the second quarter of 2021. Customers may notice a modest color change from the existing die color – the new low-VOC content dies exhibit a slightly brighter silver. In addition to the attractive color change, the exhaustive testing has concluded the new paint formula ultimately provides improved durability as well. Dies Direct is proud to bring these product enhancements to our customers without an impact to price.

With PMA’s commitment to low-VOC paint and already producing product from a state of the art facility, PMA Industries once again demonstrates its commitment to responsible manufacturing practices for the benefit of our customers, our employees, our investors, and our world.

(877) 398-6061 www.coastaluminum.com Manufacturing Doesn’t Need More Workers, It Needs the Right Ones It has always been true—to survive, a business must adapt. Adapting is no small feat. Only 52 U.S. companies remained on the Fortune 500 list from 1955 until 2019.

And, one could argue that manufacturing is facing one of its largest disruptions—digital transformation—in modern history. “My prediction is that half of all American manufacturers will close their doors in the next 10-to-15 years,” says Jeremy Frank, CEO of KCF Technologies. Franks says he has heard loud and clear what’s going on with the sector as a board member of National Association of Manufacturers, a board member of the Hydraulic Institute, an active participate in a local MEP and by working with manufacturers including the world’s largest automotive companies.

Of course, he doesn’t want to see that happen, so he formed his business in 2000 with the vision of “solving problems through the convergence of technology and people.” It’s the combination of these two essential components that will “save” manufacturing, he says. It’s very personal to Frank. At a recent company event he recalled, with emotion, how the factory where his grandfather worked, Westinghouse in Mansfield, Ohio, shut down and is now an empty parking lot. Avoiding that fate is his life’s mission. While his company advises manufacturers on what technologies will make them more efficient and able to stay in business, he’s calling for a public policy that ensures the vibrancy of the sector.

A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

10 • DEC ‘21- JAN ‘22

He points to one plan that isn’t hitting the mark. The American Jobs Plan Initiative aims to creates job, but not the right ones. Frank says, “Simply creating more jobs is short-sighted and does nothing to address the manufacturing skills gap—specifically, the need for workers who can manage Industry 4.0 technology.”

However, there are some government-backed plans that work very well.

Frank points to the model of the Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR), which invests in entrepreneurial companies. Each year the government sets aside around $3 billion for external R&D to small businesses. This program, along with the Small Business Technology Transfer program, which the SBA calls America’s Seed Fund, allows small businesses to explore technology with the goal of commercialization.

“It’s a competitive process and has proven to be successful,” Frank says, noting that his company received $1 million in 2004 and today is a growing, thriving company. He thinks this program should be expanded.

“We should be putting 10 times that number into small businesses as they create the majority of the jobs. And these are the companies tapping into the technology which will solve the knowledge gaps as well as create technologies of the future.”We also need to rework our education systems, says Frank. “It’s very hard for a two-year community college to be able to change quickly enough to match the expanding technological skills needed.”

That’s why more employers are creating internal programs for on-thejob training.

“If education policies are not flexible enough to allow students to explore various pathways,” Curry says, “students may ultimately bypass even the best workforce development opportunities. I came across the idea of pursuing technology as a career by chance after already embarking on a serious course of post-secondary studies. If I was exposed to technical or STEM programs before college, I would have landed on my pathway much sooner.”

Meta Strikes Again In Bellevue, Leases 9-Story Spring District Building

CMM Revo Half Page Final.indd 1

By Marc Stiles

M e t a Platforms Inc.’s has preleased another Spring District building in Bellevue, this time taking 213,000 square feet, project developers Wright Runstad & Co. and Shorenstein Properties said Monday.

The news comes five days after Meta (Nasdaq: FB), owner of Facebook and Instagram, said it would lease more than 700,000 square feet in Sunnyvale, California, near the company’s Menlo Park headquarters, as well as space in another Bay Area city, Burlingame.Together, the California leases total more than 1 million square feet, Bloomberg reported.

The Bellevue and Bay Area expansions are one of the clearest signs to date that the office is not on its way to extinction at least among big tech companies.

2:04:17 PM Meta’s latest Spring District lease is for Building 13, which4/6/2020 is between the former REI headquarters that Meta bought last year for $367.6 million and the Global Innovation Exchange. Building 13 is the fifth Spring District building that Meta has leased in the emerging neighborhood.

NBBJ designed Building 13 and BNBuilders is the general contractor.

Construction of the nine-story structure will start in 2022 with completion expected in 2024, the developers said.

The five buildings total over 1.4 million square feet. Those, along with Meta’s offices in Seattle and Redmond, total 3.2 million square feet.That would be enough for more than 18,000 employees based on a commercial real estate industry space-per-employee standard.

That’s well above the more than 7,000 employees Meta has in the Puget Sound region, so the new lease is the latest signal that Meta plans to grow significantly more here.

Here’s What’s On Aerospace Leaders’ Minds As 2021 Comes To A Close The demand for air travel and the planes to enable it returned in 2021 almost as suddenly as it declined the year before, leaving jet makers and their suppliers scrambling to adapt to the change of pace.

As the year comes to a close, aerospace leaders forecast continued demand — and competition — from China, and are looking for ways to secure precarious supply chains and workforces.While sustainability has emerged as a top priority for the industry, manufacturers are divided on where to invest and how soon those strategies will bear fruit.

Here are some top takeaways from conversations among industry and government leaders this fall:

China’s ability to perform quick pivots under its command-and-control leadership could give its manufacturers an edge as it grows to take on Washington’s “considerable” industry base, he said.

That said, the relationship doesn’t have to be adversarial, Heck added.

“I don’t think we should look at China as the enemy. But I do think we should look at them as our fiercest competitor and that we have to take that very seriously.”

China likely won’t have the same outsize demand for commercial jets that it has in the past two decades, senior aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia said in a recent virtual forecast. While its relationship with the West is changing as it prioritizes its fledgling domestic industry, Chinese jet makers are still heavily dependent on Western technologies from engines to avionics, which is likely to keep them at the table.

Competition from China

Supply chain challenges

China’s jet industry may be behind, but “they don’t mean to stay that way,” Washington Lt. Gov. Denny Heck said at the Aerospace Futures Alliance summit in late October.

Janene Collins, vice president of supply chain contracts and sourcing atThe Boeing Co., said the company’s “chief struggle” is the consolidation of its supply base.Those with the balance

sheet to do so used the pandemic-driven recession to “buy up capacity they don’t have,” she said.

Around 65% of the global aerospace giant’s costs come from its supply chain, which is still catching up to demand from the recovering airline industry. In response, Boeing created an internal team to better understand its 5,400-factory supplier network, which produces billions of parts that need to be delivered “just in time” to meet its production rates, she said.

Those rates have increased to 19 planes per month by the end of the third quarter, the company said in its recent earnings call, and its inquiries have indicated its supply chain can support the 31 planes it plans to produce per month by 2022.

Rising costs Rising labor costs are the most “organic” form of cost increases and a leading indicator of the inflationary pressures manufacturers are likely to see in the coming months, Aboulafia said.

While long-term pricing contracts could mask the trend in the short term, costs for materials have risen over the past several years while commercial jet prices have stayed stubbornly flat, squeezing profit margins for Boeing and Airbus.

Sustainability investments Infrastructure is the watchword for sustainability efforts, aerospace leaders said. While manufacturers are game to develop technologies ranging from sustainable aviation fuels to hydrogen and battery-powered electric propulsion, each one will require huge investments to enable mass production and delivery, said Jon Gordon, co-founder of Hawthorne, California-based Universal Hydrogen.

“The infrastructure problem is tremendous, but it can’t be the excuse anymore,” he said.

“We don’t have time.” While sustainable technologies could take an unusual form — like the hinged wing that helped Boeing increase fuel efficiency on its 777X — fuel reduction and SAF are only an interim measure, he said.

United Flies World’s First Passenger Flight On 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supplying One Of Its Engines

ByWill Palmer

From the outside, there’s nothing unusual about the Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet operated by United Airlines that flew from Chicago’s O’Hare to Washington’s Reagan National Airport with 115 people on board yesterday. But the plane made history. It was the first commercial flight with passengers on board to use 100% drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for one of the aircraft’s two engines.

“Today’s SAF flight is not only a significant milestone for efforts to decarbonize our industry, but when combined with the surge in industry commitments to produce and purchase alternative fuels, we’re demonstrating the scalable and impactful way companies can join together and play a role in addressing the biggest challenge of our lifetimes,” said United CEO Scott Kirby, who was on the D.C. flight.

We are a full service job shop, providing as much or as little project involvement as required – from tool and die design to finishing and assembly.

United SAF flight United’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 on the tarmac at O’Hare,The flight was a demonstration of how drop-in sustainable aviation fuel can be used with no modifications needed to the plane or infrastructure.

Images credit: United. ​​​ Another person on board was GE Aviation’s CEO, John Slattery. The jet used a pair of LEAP-1B engines developed by CFM International, a 50-50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines. GE has also been researching the use of SAF in its engines. Recent flights operated by Etihad Airways and British Airways used a fuel mix containing SAF, and GE Aviation is also working with Emirates on plans to test 100% SAF in 2022.

Currently, international standards following the process developed by ASTM International (which develops technical standards) permit airlines to use a maximum of 50% SAF in commercial flights. So on this demonstration flight, United operated one of the plane’s two engines on 100% conventional jet fuel and the other one on 100% SAF — about 500 gallons in each engine.

The SAF used by the jet was “drop-in” ready, meaning it is interchangeable with conventional Jet A and Jet A-1 fuel and requires no modifications to engines or airframes.This also makes it compatible with the existing commercial fleet and the existing fuel distribution and storage infrastructure. “These molecules don’t know where they come from,” says Gurhan Andac, GE Aviation’s engineering leader for aviation fuels and additives, about the difference — or the lack thereof — between SAF and conventional jet fuel. Andac, who was also on board the United flight, has played an important role in researching biofuels and synthetic fuels for engines and promoting their use. He also chairs an international task force to develop standardized industry specifications supporting adoption of 100% SAF. GE Aviation’s SAF testing includes several industry-first flight tests: the first SAF

commercial demonstration flight (2008), the first SAF transatlantic flight of a large freight commercial airplane (2011), the first 100% SAF military jet flight (2016) and, earlier this year, the first use of power-to-liquid (PtL), in which renewable electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, then the resulting H2 is used with captured CO2 to synthesize liquid hydrocarbon fuel.

Besides CFM, United partnered on the flight with Boeing, Virent — a subsidiary of Marathon whose technology e n a bl e s 1 0 0 % drop-in SAF — and World Energy, the world’s first and North America’s only commercial SAF producer.

United says it has made the largest commitment of any airline to the transition toward SAF. Last spring it launched the Eco-Skies Alliance program, in which a list of 29 corporate partners and counting have collectively contributed toward the purchase of approximately 5.7 million gallons of SAF this year alone. This is enough SAF to eliminate approximately 53,000 metric tons of GHG emissions, or enough to fly passengers over 372 million miles.

Sustainable aviation fuel can be made from any of 60 different feedstocks — among them plant oils, algae, greases, fats, waste streams, alcohols, sugar s, captured CO2 and other alter native feedstock sources and processes. The Department of Energy estimates that the United States alone has the resources to produce 50–60 billion gallons of SAF per year. For context, commercial airlines will use about 57 billion gallons of fuel by the end of 2021, down from a peak of 95 billion gallons in 2019, according to Statista. By switching from petroleum to SAF — when you take into consideration the entire life cycle of the fuel — the aviation industry could reduce its carbon contribution from fuel by up to 80%, according to industry associations the Air Transport Action Group and the International Air Transport Association.

But so far, only a fraction of 1% of the fuel consumed in aviation is SAF.To spur more investment in SAF and create more supply, demand must first grow, which is why United hopes the flight will set an example for others to follow. “Drop-in SAF is something our industry can adopt now to begin making inroads on our commitment to be net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,” says Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of CFM International. “Along with our parent companies, GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines, we applaud United for taking this bold initiative and look forward to even greater cooperation in the future.”

Manufacturers Concerned About Workforce, But Optimistic About 2022, Marcum Report Says More than two-thirds of respondents to accounting and advisory firm Marcum’s new manufacturing survey said recruitment is their biggest concern going into 2022. Forty percent were concerned about workforce training, and about 34% were worried about retirements. Health care costs were also a concern for 37% of respondents, and 31% had their eyes on higher taxes.

But despite challenges, 77% of respondents were optimistic about the coming year . And about 80% were expecting higher revenues.

A little more than half of respondents — about 54% — planned to grow their staff in the next year, the report said.

Finding skilled labor ranked in the top three priorities for 72% of respondents. Other top priorities included cutting costs, increasing the use of and investing in technology, and entering new markets.

To attract employees, more than 80% of respondents said they planned to increase wages and/or benefits.

COVID-19 had an impact on manufacturers, with 60% reporting lower revenue in 2020 than in 2019. And about 46% said the pandemic would permanently change how the company managed workforce safety measures. Forty percent said it would change how they manage the workplace environment, and 40% said they’d “do more with less,” the report noted.

Respondents also expressed concerns around the supply chain, with 40% noting that controlling costs was a challenge and about 26% saw issues in sourcing raw materials. Source: Crain’s Cleveland Business; By: Rachel Abbey McCafferty

In 2020, nuclear power accounted for 56.8 per cent of Ontario’s electricity generation, compared to 24.4 per cent for water (hydro), 8.7 per cent for wind, 6.4 per cent for natural gas and 2.4 per cent for solar.

While disposing of nuclear waste has always been a challenge, one SMR can prevent up to two megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

OPG, a Crown utility, said the project would create 700 jobs during development, 1,600 during construction and manufacturing, 200 during operations and 160 when it is eventually decommissioned after about 60 years.

“Nuclear is a key proven zero emissions baseload energy source that will help us achieve net zero as a company by 2040, and act as a catalyst for efficient economy-wide decarbonization by 2050,” said Ken Hartwick, OPG’s president and chief executive officer.

GE Hitachi president Jay Wileman said “this is a significant and concrete action in the fight against climate change that will also create jobs across Ontario and Canada as we leverage the robust and growing nuclear supply chain.”

At Queen’s Park, Green Leader Mike Schreiner said “building a large SMR at Darlington makes absolutely no sense — especially because it’s going to be higher-cost electricity.”

Ge Hitachi Chosen To Build New Nuclear Reactor At Darlington

By Robert Benzie, Queen’s Park Bureau Chief

Schreiner noted small reactors were designed for “remote areas or for specialty things like steel-making” and said the Tories are only building one there because of an existing environmental assessment.

Blueprint For The World: Ontario Picks GE Hitachi To Build New Generation of Small Nuclear Reactors In Canada

“ W i t h t o d a y ’s announcement, Ontario is leading t h e way i n n ew nuclear technologies — like SMRs — that represent tremendous economic and environmental opportunities for our province and all of Canada,” Energy Minister Todd Smith said Thursday.

Tomas Kellner

“SMRs can provide reliable and emission-free energy while creating jobs, economic growth and export opportunities,” said Smith, adding it is a chance to “showcase Ontario’s nuclear expertise to the world.”

The project, which sources say will cost several billion dollars, would be Canada’s first commercial SMR and should be up and running by 2028.

Ontario Power Generation (OPG), the largest power supplier in Ontario, selected GE Hitachi to build the first SMR at Darlington, the only site in Canada currently licensed for a new nuclear reactor. “We’re excited to move forward with GE Hitachi and develop something here that all of us can be proud of and perhaps showcase to the rest of the world on how a new nuclear project can be done really well,” Hartwick said during a press conference.

Unlike the nation’s existing nuclear stations, the new reactor would not use Candu technology.

Like many countries, Canada has pledged to reduce its net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. But what makes Canada unique is how it wants to achieve that goal. Like others, it has been boosting renewables.

But it also plans to add to the mix a powerful new source: small modular reactors, or SMRs, which can be deployed faster than conventional ones and at a lower cost per unit of output. Last week, the province of Ontario selected GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to build a grid-scale SMR and bring it online by the end of the decade.

Hartwick said that nuclear power will help OPG achieve its net-zero carbon emissions goal as a company by 2040 “and act as a catalyst for efficient economy-wide decarbonization by 2050.”

Todd Smith, Ontario minister of energy, said that OPG “has taken the time and a lot of work to ensure that it selected the technology that best fits the unique characteristics of the Darlington site” and deliver Canada’s first commercial grid-scale SMR before the end of this decade. “This really is exciting news,” he added. The minister said the world was “watching what we do next” and pointed out that GE Hitachi’s design was “perfectly sized to help jurisdictions around the world move off emitting resources like coal.”

Jay Wileman, president and CEO of GE Hitachi, called the decision “a significant and concrete action in the fight against climate change that will also create jobs across Ontario and Canada as we leverage the robust

and growing nuclear supply chain.”

GE Hitachi has already started building partnerships with many local companies and suppliers to make this a success and with First Nations Power Authority (FNPA), an organization developing energy projects serving Canada’s Indigenous people, to tap into talent inside Canada’s Indigenous communities. GE Hitachi is currently seeking to hire and train field service technicians, who could be among the first global operation and maintenance experts trained on the BWRX-300 reactors.

An SMR is defined as a reactor that produces up to 300 megawatts of electricity. GE Hitachi is now developing the BWRX-300, which, in addition to its selection in Ontario, is under consideration for projects in the U.S., Poland and Estonia. But GE Hitachi also wants to help Canada become the first global center of excellence for this technology.

“Canada has significant nuclear energy sector experience and is a global leader in the commercial nuclear power industry,” says Lisa McBride, GE Hitachi’s country leader for SMRs in Canada. “We are looking to leverage the expertise in Canada and build on that for the future of SMRs.” Heather Chalmers, president and CEO of GE Canada, said that GE was “committed to tackling the world’s toughest challenge. Climate change is one of those urgent global priorities, and a diverse portfolio of technology solutions will be required for the energy transition.” She said that the next steps “will take all of us — governments, energy producers, OEMs, utilities, research institutions and other stakeholders — working together to make this vision a reality.”

The awards cover around 40% or less of the cost of each of the three design programs, with the companies footing the bill for the remaining costs, said Phil McAlister, NASA’s director of commercial spaceflight.

The contracts include milestones for critical design review, testing and hardware demonstrations that will provide a “clear measure of progress and quality” and reduce risk, McAlister said on a conference call with media members Dec. 2.

The stations will be required to support accommodations and training for at least two crew members and perform 200 lab activities annually, including human research, tech demonstrations and biological science.

The commercial partnerships will enable NASA to focus on its crewed Artemis missions to the moon, while working to ensure a continuous U.S. presence in low-Earth orbit, McAlister said.

A Nov. 30 report by the NASA Office of the Inspector General said the agency has a “narrow timeframe” to stand up a new space station and cast doubt on the possibility of constructing a station before the ISS was retired.With designs expected to be completed in 2025, a commercial station is “not likely to be ready until well after 2030,” the report said.

The company said it plans to launch two satellites this month, with another four scheduled to go up before the end of the year. That would bring its constellation up to 12, allowing the company to take imagery at hourly intervals.

The company is seeing its strongest growth from U.S. and foreign government customers looking to pair imagery with artificial intelligence, O’Toole said.

BlackSky has around 168 employees across office in Seattle and Herndon, Virginia, and is the primary customer for Tukwila-based satellite maker LeoStella, in which it has a 50% ownership stake.

The company went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company in September, ending with around $197 million in proceeds after paying off some of its debt. It reported $7.9 million in revenue during the quarter, but burned through $46.9 million in cash, for a net loss of 67 cents per diluted share.

Engine Manufacturer Cummins Opens Hydrogen Fuel Cell Innovation Center In West Sacramento Cummins Inc. has taken 18,000 square feet of space in the California Fuel Cell Partnership building in West Sacramento to develop commercial applications for hydrogen fuel cells for busses and medium-duty and heavy trucks.

A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

24 • DEC ‘21- JAN ‘22

Cummins, based in Columbus, Indiana, chose to open its hydrogen fuel cell center in West Sacramento to be close to the region’s talent and innovation around zero-carbon technology, said Amy Davis, a Cummins

power plants, turbines and other heavy equipment for all kinds of other manufacturers.

Between a 10,000-square-foot location in Dixon and the new location in West Sacramento, Cummins has 80 employees working in the region, and it plans to hire more next year, Davis said. Cummins has an option for more space in West Sacramento should it need it.

The alternative power innovation center will work on developing, testing and perfecting hydrogen fuel cells to power big trucks and busses, which need further range and faster refueling than battery-powered engines allow.

“We think a lot of the innovation in the zerocarbon space is here,” Davis said, adding that a lot of the early adapters of the technology are also in California.

Some of the innovations the center will work on include developing the best fit of fuel cells and battery for specific applications.The center will also develop and test power management to make the vehicles work optimally without being too large or heavy, Davis said.

The Califor nia Fuel Cell Partnership was also attractive because it has a hydrogen fueling station on site, she said.

Cummins has been a longtime member of the California Fuel Cell Partnership, an industry advocacy group founded in 1999.

Cummins, which was founded in 1919, makes truck and train engines,

“There is a lot of nuance to keep the fuel cell working optimally and keeping the battery weight down,” she said.

In fuel cell cars, the fuel cell powers a battery, which moves the car. In heavy equipment, the fuel cell powers the battery, and, in some cases, the fuel cell also powers the vehicle directly, such as in the case of a heavy truck climbing a steep grade.That kind of system management requires sophisticated software, which Cummins is also developing and testing.

The West Sacramento location will also work on converting customer trucks to fuel cell systems, it will provide and install fuel cell systems for original equipment manufacturers and it may make its own vehicles at the center, Davis said.The center also has a testing center for engines and powertrains.

“50 YEARS OF MEETING OUR CUSTOMERS' EXPECTATIONS THROUGH ON-TIME DELIVERY, PRODUCT CONFORMANCE AND OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE.”

MICRO-TRONICS – MORE THAN JUST AN EDM SHOP Lockheed to Build New Commercial Space Station A NASA contract will fund construction of Starlab – a lowearth orbit research center and tourist destination due to be operational by 2027.

Lockheed Martin is part of a consortium now contracted

by NASA to design the Starlab commercial space station, as part of the agency’s Commercial Low-Earth Orbit development program.

Starlab will be the anchor for NASA’s initiative to promote the commercial space economy and provide scientific and crew capabilities prior to the retirement of the International Space Station.

Starlab, unveiled in October, will be owned and operated by Nanoracks, a commercial space-services provider whose major stakeholder isVoyager Space. Those two companies are the other participants in the Starlab consortium.

The NASA contract is valued at $160 million, and Starlab is scheduled to be ready for service in 2027.The overall cost of Starlab has not been reported.

“To receive this support from NASA validates over a decade of Nanoracks’ hard work forging commercial access to space, bringing over 1,300 A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

commercial payloads from 30 nations to the ISS,” stated Dr. Amela Wilson, CEO at Nanoracks. “This opportunity opens far-reaching possibilities for critical research and commercial industrial activity in LEO.” The Starlab project is seen replacing the ISS, which will conclude its mission by 2030. In addition, Starlab backers see it as a destination for space tourists.

Space research is the primary proposition, with four laboratories: a biology lab, plant habitation lab, physical science and materials research lab, and an open workbench area.

The space station – to be built by Lockheed – will be a large, inflatable habitat with a separate metallic docking node. At 340-m3 it will house four persons, with a 60-kW power and propulsion element and a large robotic arm for handling cargo and payloads.

NASA’s investment will be supplemented by “customer pre-buy opportunities” and public-private partnerships. The agency will have the opportunity to purchase crew and payload services on Starlab through separate services contracts with Nanoracks.

“Starlab is the confluence of Lockheed Martin’s rich space expertise and history, Nanoracks’ innovation, and Voyager’s financial savvy.This team is equipped to aid NASA on its mission to expand access to LEO and to enable a transformative commercial space economy,” stated Lisa Callahan, v.p. and general manager, Commercial Civil Space at Lockheed Martin.

New Report Makes Case For More Support For Oregon Manufacturers Oregon manufacturing is everything from microchips to fish and chips, and its importance to the state is growing at a crucial time, according to a new report published Wednesday by state business groups.

“Oregon punches above its weight for manufacturing,” said Angela Wilhelms, president and CEO of Oregon Business and Industry, which commissioned the new manufacturing study along with the Oregon Business Council.“I think what the report really illustrates is the breadth and the scope of manufacturing impact in Oregon,” Wilhelms said.

The sector spans areas from technology to the food industry and, according to the report, could grow further as companies bring parts of the supply chain closer to home and government support for domestic manufacturing has bipartisan backing.

“A state that was not known for manufacturing a half-century ago has emerged as a growth leader,” the report’s authors write. “As the country rebuilds its domestic manufacturing capacity during this decade, Oregon finds itself in a competitive position to grow jobs in a sector recognized for its competitive compensation and training opportunities.”

Among the reports findings: • • •

Oregon’s 214,000 manufacturing jobs contributed $33 million to state GDP in 2020.

Oregon’s share of the total national manufacturing GDP grew 50% from 1% to 1.5% in the last 50 years.

A 10% increase in state manufacturing output would support 66,000 new jobs and generate $800 million in state and local government revenue.

Wilhelms singled out that last statistic.

“That’s extraordinary,” she said. “We should be thinking about ways to get there, we should be thinking about ways to support our manufacturing industry broadly and allow them to realize that growth.”

Among the r e p o r t ’s takeaways for policy makers should be workforce training to help manufacturers hire and grow, making usable land zoned and available for manufacturing development, and looking at how layers of permitting and regulatory policy affect the sector. For the general public,Wilhelms said the report should underscore the strength of manufacturing in Oregon, something that is not well known.

“The increased interest in cooking over this [period of] isolation and work-from-home is real,” Khormaei said. “We see the change in more than just quantity. People are actually interested in the quality of what they eat and offer to their loved ones. There is more interest in connecting with their own food supply chain and knowing the origins of their food — and the origins of the tools they use to prepare the food.”

Khormaei and co-founder Eytan Zias, a longtime chef and the owner of Portland Knife House, were keen to launch Steelport due to demand from culinary professionals who wanted an American alternative to Japanese and German blades, which have dominated the worldwide market.

Next Day Delivery - No Minimum - Open Saturdays

With its tag line of Craftsmanship Without Compromise, Khormaei said, the Steelport chef knife is based on the three brand pillars: iconic design, functional details, and handcrafted locally.

Steelport Knife Co. carves out niche with American-made chef quality blades Launching a new business in the year 2021? Yeah, good luck with that.

But thanks to a confluence of factors, planned and unplanned, Portland’s Steelport Knife Company has carved itself a healthy niche in the high-end cutlery market, one that’s estimated globally to be worth some $10 billion over the coming years.

“It’s been an unpredictable and rewarding 18 months of business,” said company co-founder Ron Khormaei, who also helped establish FINEX Cast Iron Cookware Company in 2012.

“Covid impact removed any confidence in predicting business trajectory for any company, but especially so for a startup.”

Steelport is fully employee owned, with about 10 team members that have invested in the company with direct cash and contributing their time at no or lowered costs.

Right off the bat, Khormaei and his team not only had to worry about figuring out the best features of their new knife, but also had to accept the uncertainty of whether there would even be a market A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •

28 • DEC ‘21- JAN ‘22

The product not only introduces features like the hardest steel rating available at 65 HRC (on the Rockwell scale of hardness) and a differential heat treatment that creates a more flexible spine, but it’s also made from carbon steel, one-piece, drop forged construction, Khormaei explained.

Steelpor t officially launched production in March of this year, and almost immediately sold out of their first run of 100 knives. “This gave us the feedback to ramp-up our production to higher capacities since,” Khormaei said.

Of course, having celebrated culinary professionals telling the world how much they enjoy their Steelport blade, helps considerably.Local legends like Bonnie Morales, Elias Cairo, and Doug Adams have delivered positive feedback, as have noteworthy chefs from around the country like Chris Bianco and Aaron Franklin.

considerations.“We don’t have to worry about a supply shipment getting stuck on a ship or in customs, thus we are not forced to accept products of lower quality just to meet internal deadlines.

“This has been a subtle and not much discussed advantage, but an important one in ensuring that we continue to ship the best products possible every time.” By John Chandler – Portland Business Journal

Amazon-Backed Rivian Raises Nearly $12B In Blockbuster IPO Rivian Automotive Inc. made its stock debut last month after raising $11.9 billion in the seventh-biggest U.S. initial public offering of all time.

The Irvine, California-based electric vehicle maker, which has its manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois, priced its shares at $78 a share, well above its target range of $72 to $74. It also sold 18 million more shares than expected.

It is the biggest U.S. IPO, in terms of capital raised, since Alibaba’s 2014 offering that raised nearly $22 billion. It topped Uber’s 2019 IPO that raised $8.1 billion, which is now the tenth biggest. Facebook’s 2012 IPO, which raised about $16 billion, is No. 4 and Spotify’s in 2018, which raised about $7.4 billion, is No. 11.

Cairo, the co-owner of local charcuterie empire Olympia Provisions, added his own glowing review of the new knife on the block.

“Steelport knives are simply stunning,” he said. “The second you see it or use it, you know that this knife is special. I intend on using this tool for a very long time with much joy.”

“Steelport fills an enormous hole in the cutlery market — a kitchen knife that is the highest quality and American-made, available broadly,” Khormaei says.

Premium knives at national chains are typically from Germany, China, or Japan, he said. The homegrown domestic factor has become much more important since the rise of supply chain issues that continue to bedevil the competition.

Having component and suppliers from the United States has proven to be a big advantage.

“A key additional factor has been the value of direct connections with our suppliers,” Khormaei says. “We know them and they know us, and they believe in our products. This makes them also watch out for us, and get ahead of material disruptions they see coming.

Yet another advantage, Khormaei said, has been quality control

Rivian’s biggest stakeholders include Amazon.com Inc., which owned 22.4% of its Class A stock heading into the IPO, and Ford Motor Co., which had a 14.4% stake. They and other “cornerstone investors” indicated in a filing that they planned to buy up to $5 billion worth of shares in the offering.

R i v i a n o n ly s t a r t e d producing its electric trucks and SUVs in recent months and to date has only delivered a handful of them. But it had about 55,400 pre-orders for its R1T trucks and preorders for its R1S SUVs in the United States and Canada as of Oct. 31, according to a recent regulatory filing.

The company is slated to deliver 10,000 custom electric vans to Amazon by the end of next year.

Rivian’s market cap is about $66.5 billion, based on its IPO price. That put it in a tie for the 11th most valuable car company in the world with China-based Nio. It is far behind Tesla among electric vehicle makers, which is No. 1 with a valuation of about $1 trillion.

Rivian is hiring in the Seattle area with more growth on the way, a spokesperson told the Business Journal in August.

The Manufacturer’s Secret Weapon Put Your Heart Into It!

spirits are always lifted during our conversations.

By Stephen Hannemann When needed, it’s always a great feeling when seeing a restroom door open! But upon my approach on a recent day, I found the door open but the room occupied.

A man was on his knees with rag in hand cleaning the commode. I immediately stepped back out of view and watched. This individual was not doing a slipshod piece of work! He was cleaning and polishing every nook and crevice of that porcelain throne. From obscured observation, I realized he was concentrating intently and performing his task purposefully. The man was in his early to mid-20’s. I supposed when he was in high school his aspiration was not to be a janitor. I might be wrong. But I witnessed a man doing a job to the best of his ability – exceedingly well above and beyond any requirement the job called for.

I had a humbling learning experience in that brief five to ten minutes while I watched and waited for this young man to finish. I don’t know if this individual enjoyed his work or not, but clearly, he put his heart into his labor. I love what I do, meeting and helping people, selling the services of the companies I represent, writing, and speaking on occasion.

But there are times when I know that I am not giving 100%. The man I watched humbled me, but also inspired me. It led me to think: What if people in every job, vocation, or career, gave a 100% effort? If husbands made a 100 % effort in their marriages, if fathers and mothers gave 100% effort as parents, if managers gave 100% effort for their employees and the employees gave 100% and expressed their gratitude in the workplace – what would our world look like? I know, it’s a pipe dream, but you don’t have to be a “Somebody” to inspire people. I learned that on a trip to the restroom in a grocery store a few weeks ago.

Oh, by the way, I have never been in a cleaner restroom.

This past year my articles have been about the transforming power of a positive attitude in the workplace. The SMH page of the recent Oct.-Nov. issue of A2Z West Coast references an interview with one of the most positive and inspiring individuals I have André Taylor ever met – André Taylor, founder of CareerPaths NW. Only three conversations with this man were necessary for me to know, without question, he’s a 100 percenter. My A2Z MANUFACTURING WEST COAST •
