Editors Corner

Cover

It is nearly impossible to read a business publication without seeing articles on employee retention. Alas, as the pandemic has waned (and excess unemployment benefits ended), I think we all expected the labor pool to replenish itself. This just hasn’t happened.

There was an article in the Wall Street Journal by Dorie Clark that caught my eye. Titled, “Meet Your New Employees”, the article characterizes employees as fitting into one of the following: • Ambitious Employees • Work-to-live Advocates • Double-duty professionals • The Desperate to Connect • Zest for lifers • Disoriented new hires

GSA (Global Superabrasives) Your Arizona Diamond and CBN Tooling Manufacturer Photography by Takashi.

Announcements..................................... 6-19 Feature Articles.........1,44-45,50,54-55,67 Buyers Guide Equipment............... 73-81 Buyers Guide Processes................ 82-93

This article resonated with me. Decades ago, I was a new college hire, and my first job was a supervisor in a data center. When one of my employees told me Card Gallery................................... 73-93 that he had to go to HR immediately as there was an error in his pay, I told him Index of Advertisers............................. 94 that he would have to wait until the shift got less busy. He complained to my boss, who explained to me that there were people who ‘worked to live’. He let Editorial.................................Throughout me know that while I aspired to move up, not everyone shared this goal. Further, he explained that this was a good thing. “Imagine if everyone in this data center Published by: was an ambitious employee who wanted to move up in the corporation. There wouldn’t be enough worker bees and there would be many disgruntled ambitious A2Z Manufacturing employees, since the company couldn’t promote everyone to management positions.” This was just one of many lessons I learned from my mentor.

PUBLISHER/EDITOR Linda Daly A brief summary of each worker type may help you to see how you can make linda@a2zMfg.com each feel welcome – so that they want to stay.

As a manager of ambitious employees, help them to cultivate their skills and to be on the path to future leadership in your company.

Work to live employees work to bring home a paycheck. To retain these employees, you could minimize mandatory overtime and offer flexibility in hours for those who have family responsibilities (e.g. before or after school pick-up ).

Double-duty professionals are people who currently face challenges outside of work, including childcare or even elder parent care, made more difficult during the pandemic. The author suggests that you recognize that these people have ambitions and want to advance, they just need time to get through the double duty challenges they are facing today.

The desperate to connect are typically employees who live alone and worked at home during the Pandemic. This category of worker values work as a place to connect with others. As a manager, help them to feel a part of a team.

Zest for lifers don’t necessarily prioritize work, like the work to live employees, but they aren’t working just to pay bills. They may be older workers who stepped away from a professional career and want a simpler job, and they value connecting with others, personal growth, conquering interesting challenges, and flexibility.

Disoriented new hires are often young people who were hired during the pandemic. They haven’t really had a chance to learn the culture of their new employer. These employees just need some real TLC in order to feel like a valued contributing team member.

Likely you have workers that fall into these categories.I encourage you to understand your employees’ unique needs, and do what you can to help them want to stay. It’s just good for business. In closing, God bless our troops, our first responders and our industry.

IT’S TIME TO PARTICIPATE At present the manufacturing industry is seeing rising demand, so now is the time to find ways to participate in fulfilling these needs and growing our companies. I believe we stand at a critical juncture where a proactive, intentional stance will serve us well. As we get underway in 2022, let’s be thinking about how we can create a New Way Forward for our organizations.

REMAIN FOCUSED ON YOUR WINDSHIELD A key question leaders must ask themselves is, how do we reinvigorate our organizations after a period of forced hibernation?

We need to be focused on the windshield, not the rear-view mirror, because looking forward provides a much wider view. Envision and plan for what’s in front of us, not behind us.

numbers are strong. The market is showing readiness for growth, and this doesn’t surprise me. In my 45 years in business, manufacturing has led the way in almost every recovery, and we’re doing it again. It seems clear we’re in a phase of acceleration, but the question is, are we prepared to participate? To my mind, we need to get back to the business of winning again, which has always been the heart and soul of the manufacturing industry.

REIGNITE THE FIRES This brings us to the question of “how”, and this really involves how to reignite the fires of people who’ve been, by no choice of their own, in somewhat of a holding pattern. Following are some of the steps we’re taking here at Okuma America.

Set some Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs). I’m a fan of the work done by Jim Collins and Jerry Porras in the book Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies.

The government figures are rosier than employment predictions produced earlier in the week by ADP, a private payroll company that puts out its own monthly report.

The ADP predicted that the U.S. would lose 21,000 manufacturing and 301,000 overall jobs in January.

In its February 4 report, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised up its employment figures for December 2021. According to the Bureau, private nonfarm companies hired 510,000 people in December while manufacturers hired 32,000—both substantial improvements over the previously-published figures of 199,000 and 26,000 new jobs, respectively.

at transportation equipment manufacturers. Companies making durable goods added a net 8,000 new jobs, hampered significantly by the 9,500-job loss in transportation equipment.

About half of the losses in that sector were in motor vehicles and parts production. The losses in transportation equipment offset gains in fabricated metal products, which added 5,000 new jobs, machinery, and nonmetallic mineral products.

Nondurable goods production saw mainly meager gains and losses across the board. The largest group in nondurable goods, food production, added 5,200 jobs, making up most of the total 5,000 net nondurable production jobs gained.

Average hourly earnings in manufacturing continued to grow, but remained beneath average hourly earnings overall, which grew at a faster rate. Average manufacturing wages rose by 19 cents in January to $30.56 an hour, while hourly wages among all private companies rose 23 cents to $31.63 an hour. Wages in manufacturing were above most private wages as recently as November 2021, when the mean hourly rate was $30.24 in manufacturing and $30.23 overall. Source: Industry Week

Investing In Arizona Workers Governor Doug Ducey outlined an ambitious 2022 policy agenda earlier this month, including an important initiative to significantly expand Arizona’s talented workforce.

The Governor proposes “to establish six advanced manufacturing training centers facilitated by community colleges across the state.”

“Let’s invest in the worker, arming them with the skills they need for our growing semiconductor and advanced manufacturing industries,” the governor stated. “Whether your top issue is workforce, or rural jobs – this is the way to do it: Our budget makes historic investments into community colleges to empower our people with a quality education and the skills of the future.”

Last month, Governor Ducey and the ACA met with 10 community college chancellors and presidents across the state for a roundtable to discuss the impact of the six new workforce accelerators (advanced manufacturing training centers) in their communities, emphasizing the Governor’s dedication to workforce development.

The workforce accelerators would be administered by the ACA and modeled after Drive48, a state-of-the-art facility that is training workers for jobs in electric vehicle manufacturing.

Drive48 has already impacted the community in its first year of operation – 1,700 Lucid Motors employees have been trained using Drive48’s state-ofthe-art tools. Lucid Motors’ Advanced Manufacturing Facility (AMP-1) in Casa Grande celebrated the start of production of the Lucid Air last year.

AMP-1 will create 6,000 jobs by 2029.

The Future of U.S. Competitiveness and Reshoring By: Harry Moser

Advanced Manufacturing is the future of U.S. competitiveness and reshoring.

Enhancing capabilities through the adoption of innovative technologies will increase efficiency and narrow the manufacturing cost gap with foreign competitors, thus boosting global competitiveness and enabling reshoring. Let’s look at a few vital areas in which advanced manufacturing is providing significant gains: • Essential products: The COVID-19 pandemic revealed serious vulnerabilities in the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain with shortages affecting active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and finished pharmaceutical products. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) advanced manufacturing initiatives are strengthening the domestic drug manufacturing supply chain, providing quality

pharmaceuticals for patients.

• The FDA has long maintained the importance of advanced manufacturing technologies. In 2015, the FDA approved the first regulatory submission for a human drug produced by continuous manufacturing and the first produced by 3D printing.

The FDA is working to form the regulatory framework required for these advanced technologies.

• End-to-end continuous manufacturing, a process that integrates API and drug product manufacturing in one process.

• Portable and modular distributed manufacturing platforms, or pharmacy-on-demand.

• Artificial intelligence or advanced modeling approaches in manufacturing.

• Today, 80 percent of the drugs made Continued Next Page

The funding will expand Corning’s U.S. manufacturing capacity and drive R&D into innovative new technologies. Corning had previously received $450 million from Apple’s Advanced Manufacturing Fund, which led to the development of a new glass ceramic called Ceramic Shield, which is more durable than any other smartphone glass. Apple established the fund in 2017 to support innovation and skilled manufacturing jobs across the U.S. Apple’s investments in Corning help support 1,000 U.S. jobs.

• Amazon’s new innovation and manufacturing hub will house R&D labs and robotic manufacturing operations. The site will focus on the R&D and manufacturing of mobile drive robots that work in fulfillment facilities, directly with employees, using AI to chart the robots’ routes. The facility will create 200 new advanced manufacturing jobs.

cognitive automation, advanced analytics and the Internet of Things. These innovations require a highly trained workforce to bring to fruition. As manufacturers implement advanced manufacturing technologies, they will gain new levels of efficiency, quality control and visibility. To realize the full potential of these investments, they will need skilled workers.

New-collar workers must develop technical and soft skills through nontraditional educational paths including community colleges, vocational schools, software boot camps, technical certification programs, high-school technical education and on-the-job apprenticeships and internships as opposed to a four-year university degree. Manufacturers must incorporate lifelong learning into their business plans to develop the future workforce needed for advanced manufacturing. Here are some successful learning programs: • Rockford, Ill.-based manufacturer PBC Linear found that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the skilled labor shortage.

“The biggest problem was finding new people and getting them up to speed fast enough and then keeping them,” says Beau Wileman, a design engineer at PBC Linear. “It’s inefficient and expensive to have a manager step away from whatever he or she was doing and train.” Wileman turned to augmented reality to reduce training time and manager supervision during training. “We have since refined the process to where 70 percent of training occurs through the headset,” said Wileman.

US chipmaker Arizona for First Giant Light F-35 HelmetTesteyes A Success $40 billion-plus plant A U.S. semiconductor company is scouting multiple sites in Arizona, Texas, California and North Carolina for a project that could have a capital investment of $40 billion or more with 5,000 to 10,000 jobs at full buildout.

Multiple sources told the Triangle Business Journal in North Carolina that the project is on an accelerated timeline as the country, and the world, rushes to fill the gap in the global chip shortage that’s hampering the economic recovery and causing supply chain disruption.

Citing non-disclosure agreements, sources would not confirm the name of the company but confirmed it is a U.S. chipmaker. Cities in Texas, Arizona and California as well as in Chatham County, North Carolina are vying for the project, sources added.

Last October, CEO Sanjay Mehrotra of Boise, Idaho-based Micron Technology, one of world’s largest chipmakers, announced the company’s intent to invest more than $150 billion globally over the next decade in memory A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 24 • March / April 2022

manufacturing and research and development.

On an earnings call in December, Mehrotra said the firm “look[ed] forward to working with governments around the world, including the U.S., as we consider sites to support future expansion.”

When asked if the company was considering North Carolina for a facility, a Micron spokesperson said the company is vetting opportunities around the world and weighing many factors, such as “access to a strong talent pool, reliable and cost-competitive utility services, alignment with our corporate sustainability objectives, and a favorable regulatory environment.”

“In the U.S., we’re engaging in discussions with multiple states and will provide updates as the process continues and at the appropriate time,” the spokesperson added.

“There are multiple factors that inform our decision to invest billions of dollars to construct and operate a fab. We will share specific locations as we close on unique investment targets.”

Triangle Innovation Point. The 2,150-acre site in southeast Chatham near the Lee County line has been viewed for years as a prime location for a large economic development project. Multiple government and industry sources have said interest in the site has picked up recently.

“We do have some pretty significant activity on it,” said Chet Mann, mayor of nearby Sanford. “I think it’s safe to say it’s a matter of when, not if.”

It’s unclear at this time if a “Project Autumn” has been proposed in any Phoenix area cities, though state land sites in Queen Creek, Goodyear and north Phoenix could be prime spots for the facility in the Valley.

Sources said those sites were eyed by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. as possible locations for a $17 billion chipmaking plant. Samsung ultimately chose Taylor, a suburb of Austin, Texas for the plant.

Sources said the semiconductor project is tied to the passage of the CHIPS Act, federal legislation designed to spur investment in domestic chip production, which has been strongly championed by Intel Corp. CEO Pat Gelsinger. Over the past several decades, the U.S.’s share of the global chip industry has shrunk as semiconductor companies chose to invest in manufacturing plants overseas. The U.S. Senate passed the legislation last June – it was included in the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, which includes $52 billion to fund provisions in the CHIPS Act. But the bill, widely endorsed by industry leaders, has stalled with congressional leaders in the House of Representatives. Also in June, the Senate introduced the Facilitating American-Built Semiconductors (FABS) Act, legislation that would establish an investment tax credit to incentivize greater semiconductor

manufacturing in the United States.

Virtually all of the major semiconductor makers in the U.S. are now working to bring more production stateside.

Last March, Intel announced plans to build two new chip factories in Arizona. And chip designers such as Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM), which has had a research design facility in the Triangle for nearly two decades, and Advanced Micro Devices (Nasdaq: AMD) have also been seeking out opportunities to bulk up supply. Advanced Micro recently extended a deal with GlobalFoundries – which has considered North Carolina for production factories in the past – that will provide it with $2.1 billion worth of chips through 2025. And Texas Instruments (Nasdaq: TXN) has announced it’s building a new analog chips plant in Richardson, Texas, during the second half of 2022.

Pinal County pitched for semiconductor hub as suppliers jockey for space When it became clear the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. plant in Phoenix would bring an influx of advanced manufacturing suppliers looking for locations in the Valley, Jackob Andersen, president of Saint Holdings, approached the Arizona Commerce Authority and suggested Pinal County as a location. “Early on I had reached out to the ACA and suggested we have a campus for the suppliers at the Inland Port of Arizona in Coolidge,” Andersen said. “There was enough room to have all of them there together.”

Andersen’s company owns the Inland Port of Arizona, which is already home to Nikola Corp.’s manufacturing facility, as well as the Central Arizona Commerce Park in Casa Grande, where Lucid Motors has its facility. So far, Andersen said most of the suppliers he has worked with have taken space in Casa Grande.

With the influx of users, including LCY Chemical, which bought 34 acres from Saint Holdings, Andersen said the Casa Grande park A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 26 • March / April 2022

is sold out of rail-served sites, and the company is focusing on the Coolidge park for some of the larger users.

Near the Central Arizona Commerce Park, another Taiwan-based semiconductor industry supplier, Jing He Science Co., bought 20 acres of land near Burris and Peters roads. According to real estate database Vizzda, the company closed on the land in late January for $1.63 million. Jing He Science Co. provides electronic grade gases and chemicals and specialty chemicals to clean semiconductor wafers.

Andersen said the Casa Grande park could accommodate smaller users, and is now in talks with various users for sites in Coolidge. The site was awarded a federal grant in 2019 to build road infrastructure, which is now under construction.

“It’s three or four times as big as our site in Casa Grande,” he said of the Inland Port of Arizona, which totals about 2,700 acres. “Users we are dealing with now on the Coolidge site want rail service, and they’ll get it.”

The company is also fielding interest from developers interested in building speculative buildings in Coolidge, Andersen said.

In addition to the suppliers flocking to Pinal County, the city of Phoenix also designated a site in Deer Valley as a “supplier site” for TSMC. Sunlit Chemical, a Taiwan-based semiconductor industry supplier, bought land from Mack and is beginning to build its $100 million facility there.

TSMC’s massive semiconductor fabrication facility is under construction in north Phoenix near Loop 303 and Interstate 17. The first phase, which was announced in late 2020 to be worth $12 billion, is the largest foreign direct investment in the state’s history. Sources with knowledge of the deal have confirmed that the final investment in the facility, now under construction, will be even larger, worth about $35 billion.

The first phase of TSMC is estimated to have an economic impact of $38.2 billion over 20 years. According to the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the plant is expected to create a total of 4.296 jobs over 10 years. By Corina Vanek – Phoenix Business Journal

Intel to pay a hefty premium to buy Tower Semiconductor for $5.4B

AMADA HRB 7axis 3icontrol 247-ton Press Brake

TSMC is building the $12 billion first phase of its massive manufacturing plant in north Phoenix, while Intel’s largest manufacturing site is in Chandler, where it is building two new fabs in a $20 billion project.

To w e r h a s m o v i n g t o u p g r a d e i t s manufacturing sites in Israel, Texas and Japan in an effort to to boost capacity for 200 and 300 millimeter chips.

Intel is already one of Israel’s biggest exporters, having a large presence there for almost 50 years. It has five sites and 14,000 employees there, including autonomous vehicle technology unit Mobileye, which it bought for $15.3 billion in 2017.

Intel Corp. said it has agreed to buy Israel-based chipmaker Tower Semiconductor Ltd. for $5.4 billion. Intel will be paying nearly a 60% premium for Tower, which sells analog chips used in cars, medical sensors and power management.

The deal is subject to regulatory approval and isn’t expected to close for about a year. When it does, Intel plans to make Tower part of its Intel Foundry Services, which was established last year to help address the shortage for semiconductors amid growing demand.

The deal is the latest move by Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger to reassert his company’s position in chip manufacturing. It deepens its presence in a sector dominated by Taiwan-based TSMC, the world’s largest chipmaker and soon to be another major player in the Arizona scene.

GlobalData’s David Bicknell said the acquisition will be useful to Intel without attracting regulatory objections. By Cromwell Schubarth – Silicon Valley Business Journal A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

Positive Outcomes for High School CTE Concentrators A report published by the Annenberg Institute at Brown University examines how CTE concentration in high school can affect postsecondary enrollment, earnings, poverty and education/labor force engagement for different learner groups and across different CTE program areas.

Using the Massachusetts state longitudinal data system, researchers studied nine cohorts of high school students, of which 20% were CTE concentrators, for one to seven years after their expected graduation dates. Overall, the researchers found positive impacts of CTE concentration on postsecondary attendance, earnings, poverty avoidance and engagement in education and the labor market.

Postsecondary Attendance: CTE concentration is associated with an increase in attendance at two-year institutions. Within particular student populations, Black and Latino CTE concentrators and concentrators who were eligible for free and reduced-price lunch are much more likely to attend college than their non-CTE peers.

Earnings: Compared to non-CTE students, CTE concentrators, on average, saw $1,792 more in annual earnings during the first year after high school and $3,359 more in annual earnings by seven years posthigh school. Among students who never attended a postsecondary institution, CTE concentrators made over $6,000 more annually than nonCTE concentrators by the seventh year. Focusing on particular student groups, CTE concentration is most strongly associated with increased earnings for male learners and historically marginalized students, A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

particularly students with disabilities.

When considering program clusters, the strongest increase in earnings is associated with construction; transportation, manufacturing and technology; and health care.

Poverty and Disengagement: CTE concentrators are 8.4 percentage points more likely to avoid poverty and are significantly more likely to earn above the poverty threshold seven years after high school. Additionally, CTE concentrators are 7.8 percentage points less likely to be disengaged (neither employed nor participating in education or training).

School Setting: The report also studied the differences in post-high school outcomes for CTE concentrators at comprehensive high schools as compared to CTE-dedicated high schools in Massachusetts. Researchers concluded that while both types of institutions are associated with earnings advantages for CTE concentrators, CTE-dedicated schools are likely to lead to significantly larger earnings increases.

Have You Evaluated Stellar Industrial Supply’s Documented Cost Savings (DCS) Program?

Like all industrial distributors, Stellar Industrial Supply’s bread and butter will be its role as a products provider. But over the past decade, the company has become arguably even better known for the cost savings that it provides customers.

Stellar’s Documented Cost Savings (DCS) program is based upon customers agreeing to purchase a higher volume and wider range of products when purchased from Stellar, but only after the distributor has proven that it can produce documented cost savings. The win-win deal aims to maximize profits and inventory turns for the customer, creating better capacity through better processes that leads to increased revenue per machine while reducing capital requirements for new equipment.

In 2019, the DCS program generated more than $17 million in customer approved documented cost savings, and the program achieved nearly $13 million in 2020 savings despite the pandemic’s impacts. In its 10-year tenure, the program has accrued $121 million in such savings.

Gloria​ Djebnar- Stellar Industrial Supply Business Development Manager

“We always want to be able to answer the question of why a customer or prospect should buy from Stellar”, co-founder and CEO John Wiborg says.

“The answer needs to be because we will help them with their performance in ways our competition may not, and we will prove it and clearly quantify the results we deliver.”

Beyond the customer, Stellar’s DCS program has evolved to include its supplier partners in the process, running an annual contest among them in which Stellar recognizes the winner by donating money to a charity in their name.

The industry has certainly taken notice of the program’s success in the form of numerous awards and valuable public relations exposure. Wiborg noted that Stellar has been recommended by customers with multiple plants, and the company has defended competitive onslaughts because of that success.

Awards garnered in the last five years include: AD’s Best Conversion Award in 2016 and 2019; Snap-on Industrial’s 2018 Affiliate of the Year; Boeing’s 2017 Performance Excellence Award; Lenox’s 2017 Supplier of the Year: SupplyForce’s 2017 Best Conversion Award; ISA’s 2016 American Eagle; and Dynabrade’s 2016 Partner Excellence Award.

“Of course, we always appreciate being recognized for the work our team does”, Wiborg says of the awards. “We strive to make things better for not just our owners but our staff, suppliers, communities and especially our customers.

It’s not an entirely unexpected increase, given the company’s previously announced plan to spend $100 billion on expanding its manufacturing capacity through 2023. But the record sum suggests it doesn’t expect demand for chips to slow down anytime soon, despite some analyst warnings of potentials slowdowns in areas like smartphones, the Financial Times notes.

TSMC’s reasoning is that any slowdown will be made up by more product categories like cars and factory equipment starting to require high performance silicon.

“We observe end-market demand may slow down in terms of units, but silicon content is increasing,” said the company’s CEO CC Wei, in comments reported by the FT.

TSMC expects demand to remain high regardless of whether the global chip shortage continues, with Wei noting that it “may or may not persist” in 2022, Nikkei Asia reports. The company expects overall chip manufacturing industry revenue to grow 20 percent this year, but that TSMC will outperform it with revenue growth in the high20 percent range. Its revenue grew by 25 percent last year.

Scottsdale private equity firm forms New Mexico packaging company The Scottsdale-based private equity arm of Franklin Mountain Investments has formed a packaging company that will be based in Santa Teresa.

Franklin Mountain Packaging will produce corrugated cardboard sheets of varying thickness and offer digital printing services, according to an announcement in late January.

Formed by Franklin Mountain Capital, which provides longterm capital and operating expertise for small and middlemarket businesses based primarily in the Southwest, the new packaging company will target several sectors.

These include food and beverage, health care, electronics, e-commerce, technology, aerospace and automotive.

Paul Foster, the chair of both Franklin Mountain Packaging and Franklin Mountain Capital, said in the announcement that the Santa Teresa location will provide the company an advantage in a growing Southwestern U.S.

market and offer opportunities to market its corrugated products and services to customers in Mexico.

In January, New Mexico’s Economic Development Department announced it awarded Franklin Mountain Packaging $776,384 to help train 69 employees at a wage of $18.09. The incentives were made available through the state’s Job Training Incentive Program. A percentage of the award helps pay for on-the-job or classroom training for newly created jobs for businesses either relocating or expanding their presence in New Mexico, according to the EDD’s website.

Based in the so-called Borderplex region, Santa Teresa can be a hub for large-scale international manufacturers, state officials believe. The southern New Mexico community lies within a sixmile overweight cargo zone which allows for trucks to carry up to 96,000 pounds of cargo even if they have a reducible load — making the distribution of products less strenuous.

Recently, manufacturers for medical devices, bedding bases and food distribution have made their way into the region. By Chris Keller – Albuquerque Business First A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

Meet Battle Approved Motors, a Phoenix startup with a grand vision for its electric UTV Arizona is building a reputation as a home for electric vehicle makers and one Phoenix startup is taking this new sector off the beaten path.

Battle Approved Motors is an early-stage startup looking to build an electric UTV, or utility task vehicle, specifically for high-end off-road racing.

The company describes its envisioned vehicle as “Ferrari meets Tesla in the dirt.”

CEO and founder Chris James got the idea for building an electric UTV while producing a film project, “Mod Kids USA,” which documented the lives of young modified, offroad kart racers.

“Wouldn’t it be really cool if we could make a vehicle that does perform as well as these carts and trucks and really make it a vehicle for the future,” James said of the original thought behind the company. “Battle Approved Motors is, as far as I’m concerned, going to go all the way, and we just need people to believe in that.”

The company is currently running an equity crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine, which has raised $163,000 so far. BAM ran a similar campaign last year that pulled in just over $1 million, a significant portion of which went toward marketing, according to documents the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

BAM is currently in the design phase of production, with its 12-member team working in both Arizona and Wisconsin. The company is designing the vehicle in a program called SolidWorks, and it expects to debut its first vehicle, the two-seater e103, by the end of 2023.

The ultimate vision for the company is grand and sprawling; BAM hopes to build three different models of its vehicle, to make high-end trailers, offer memberships for shareholders and to start its own offroad, all-electric racing series by 2024.

“What we want to do with Battle Approved is really be like what like Formula One has done for that for asphalt racing and power racing,” he said. “We want to be that for off-road.”

BAM owns 203 acres of land in Yucca, near Arizona’s western border, where the company envisions building a “real estate paradise” with a private testing facility and sustainable community called the Battle Ground.

“If you build it, they will come.” The saying is actually a misquote that was used in the movie starring Kevin Costner called “Field of Dreams”. The actual quote is: “If you build it, he will come”.

This resonates with Bill Herbst, founder and owner of Global Superabrasives (GSA). The company, an ISO9001: 2015 certified manufacturer of diamond and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) grinding tools, consistently procures new equipment and technology prior to winning a new customer that warrants it. Cornel Loghin, co-owner of CNC PROS, a local machine tool dealer, says, “Another widely used quote that epitomizes Bill is ‘putting the cart before the horse’.”

What are abrasives and Superabrasives?

The term “superabrasives” refers to the abrasive grit types, cubic boron nitride or diamond, used for abrasive tools. ... Superabrasives are characterized by higher hardness and wear resistance standing out from “conventional abrasives” like corundum and silicon carbide.

Back in 2009, Bill founded the company on the front porch of his house in Massachusetts. Though he wasn’t (and isn’t to this day) a machinist, Bill learned about superabrasives from the time he was a child, with his mother having been employed in the industry. Today, he has nearly 4 decades of experience in the world of diamond and CBN, and is clearly a Superabrasives subject matter expert.

Customers from a variety of industries, but heavily focused on the aerospace and defense industries, rely on GSA for their diamond and CBN grinding tools.

Bill moved the family and the business from Massachusetts to Arizona in 2010, and he set up shop in a 900 sq. ft. facility in Tempe.

Bill says, “For the first years of business, our company outsourced all machining. When we lost a major customer due to long leadtimes and even missed delivery dates (as a direct result of the machine shop we were outsourcing to), we knew it was time to bring machining in-house.”

Cornel had been visiting Bill for a number of years, though in all those years he hadn’t sold a machine to Bill. Cornel says, “Bill wasn’t ready for a machine, so of course I wasn’t trying to sell him something he didn’t yet need or want.” But when Bill made the decision to bring machining in-house, the first and only machine A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 44 • March / April 2022

tool dealer he contacted was Cornel at CNC PROS. “I felt like I had a relationship with Cornel and I appreciated his knowledge and the fact that he never pushed me into a purchase I wasn’t ready for.”

Once Bill made the decision to purchase a machine from CNC PROS, both he and Cornel determined that the Hyundai Wia CNC PROS carries was the best fit. Bill says, “Cornel even recommended I purchase a machine that was 30% less expensive than the one I first selected, and since it was in stock, the Hyundai Wia L300MA turning center was delivered and installed at our shop days later.”

Marcus James, Manufacturing Engineering for GSA, says, “The Hyundai Wia L300MA, with its 10” chuck and live tooling, gave us the large turning capability we needed. The parts we wanted to turn were heavy, solid 16” in diameter.” In fact, Marcus and Bill state that the Hyundai Wia L300MA enabled them to win back lost business, and the resulting volumes translate to a payback of ~3 months. Bill says, “Yes, we did buy the machine

prior to having the first customer who we could use for a payback analysis, but it clearly was the right decision for GSA.” Connor Herbst says, “Today we are outperforming any other suppliers our customer was using for their 16” diameter parts.”

Cornel says, “Hyundai offers good, solid machine tools that I can confidently recommend to my customers. They are able to deliver high quality factory automation systems through the precision technologies accumulated by a long time experience of machine tool manufacturing, and the operation capability acquired from the automobile parts manufacturing business. ” Bill states, “Honestly a CNC machine is a CNC machine, and there are a number of good builders out there. What you get after the sale, in service, is what differentiates one machine over the next. To put the level of service we get from CNC PROS into perspective, when our chip conveyor was throwing an error this past December, Cornel came to service the machine on Christmas Eve! Not only was getting service on Christmas Eve remarkable, but our salesperson/ company owner is so versed in the machines he sells that he can service them!”

He continues, “We purchased a new machine from another machine tool dealer in the past. Though the machine is still just a few years old, it’s been leaking oil.

When we contacted the dealer about the issue, we were told to put a bucket under the leak. They flat out refused to help us to fix the machine.”

“We get much more than a knowledgeable salesperson with Cornel”, Bill explains.

“He doesn’t just give us advice on machines and options, Cornel takes the time to learn about our business, and he always works with you to find the perfect machine to fit a specific process.”

“If you build it, they will come”, is working well at GSA. Business growth has meant GSA moving from its initial 900 sq. ft. facility, to today, 2 facilities totaling nearly 4000 sq. ft. (the 2nd facility housing R&D), with plans in place to add an additional 3200 sq. ft. for the machine shop expansion. And while we were doing the interview for this article, GSA had just taken possession of its 3rd machine tool purchase from CNC PROS, a Ganesh T500 CNC Drill Tap Center. Cornel says that the Ganesh T500 vertical machining centers offer fast machining capabilities in a very compact machine. Bill says, “We are absolutely a CNC PROS buyer, through and through.”

“We are looking for some great additions to our team”, Marcus says, “Including CNC Programmers, Manufacturing Engineers and Manufacturing Technicians.” Connor adds, “We are willing to provide training for those with minimal experience.” To learn more about how GSA can help you with your diamond and CBN grinding tools or to become part of this dynamic company, call 888.586.8783 or visit globalsuperabrasives.com CNC PROS recognizes the rapid evolving advancements in the precision machining space and have put a very focused effort to offer advanced technologies to the Arizona market. From the CNC PROS 24 hour pledge, to their world class engineering and service team, CNC PROS exists to provide excellence for your machine tool and service choice.

Sandia Helps Ensure A Safe, Secure And Effective Nuclear Deterrent Sandia National Laboratories marked a major milestone when the Nuclear Security Enterprise successfully produced the first completely refurbished bomb for the B61-12 life extension program in November 2021.

“This is the first complete unit built with nuclear and non-nuclear components that has been fully qualified from the ground up,” said David Wiegandt, a Sandia senior manager on the B61-12 program. “The first production unit is the first War Reserve B61-12 built at Pantex that meets all customer requirements and is acceptable for use by the U.S. Air Force.”

last decade.

More than 5,000 employees have worked on the B61-12 life extension program at Sandia during the

As part of the program, Sandia worked to refurbish, replace or reuse about 50 different components and sub-systems that make up the B61-12.

The B61, a nuclear gravity bomb deployed from U.S. Air Force and North Atlantic Treaty Organization bases, has been in service since 1968. The B61-12 will replace A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

most older modifications of the B61 and have an extended service life of at least 20 years. The life extension program addresses all known agerelated concerns found within the nation’s stockpile of B61 weapons, upgrades encryption algorithms, modernizes the safety and use control features of the weapon and supports compatibility with future aircraft designs.

Sandia, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Boeing are the design agencies responsible for the design and engineering of the B61-12, with Sandia also producing custom electronics. Additional production activities are performed at Kansas City National Security Campus, Y-12 National Security Complex, the Savannah River Site and the Pantex Plant.

The refurbished B61 is set to begin full-scale production in May 2022, with completion expected in 2026.

The program began with a concept phase where the team developed various weapon architectures that would meet NNSA and Air Force requirements. After the design was stabilized, the team started to develop and produce all the individual components that go into the weapon, then spent several years integrating those components into systems, and then tested them and made modifications and refinements as necessary.

Another key part of the program was the development and qualification testing of the bomb.

Sandia completed a series of tests determining how the refurbished B61 would handle temperature, shock, vibration, radiation, humidity and more throughout its extended lifetime.

Sandia also coordinated with the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center to test compatibility between the B6112 and the different aircraft that will be capable of deploying it.

Sikorsky and Boeing select Honeywell’s engine for Defiant X helicopter Lockheed Martin company Sikorsky and Boeing have selected Honeywell as the engine provider for the Defiant X helicopter.

The Defiant X advanced helicopter system is Sikorsky-Boeing’s entry for the US Army’s future long-range assault aircraft (FLRAA) competition.

Honeywell said that the HTS7500 turboshaft is the latest and the most technologically advanced model in its family of military engines.

The engine comes with a modernised control system to ensure a secure flow of engine data, as well as enhanced operational capabilities.

Honeywell Aerospace Engines and Power Systems president Dave Marinick said: “This engine builds upon the battle-proven architecture of the T55, but the HTS7500 takes engine performance, reliability, and efficiency to a whole new level.

“The engine is structurally similar, which is great for maintainers in the field because they can use current tools and training.

“However, when it comes to performance, the HTS7500 is 42% more powerful than the T55-GA-714A, and has the lowest total weight compared to other engines in its horsepower class.”

The Defiant X is currently being tested in a digital combat environment. It is expected to replace the in-service Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.

According to Sikorsky and Boeing, the Defiant X can fly twice as far and fast as the Black Hawk helicopter.

Sikorsky president Paul Lemmo said: “Defiant X is a transformational aircraft, and Honeywell is giving us a transformational engine to power it.

“Defiant X is optimised for operational effectiveness, sustainment, and interoperability with the enduring fleet, and will transform the Army.”

Last month, Defiant X’s technology demonstrator SB>1 DEFIANT concluded mission profile test flights.

Superior Silica Certifies To ISO 9001: 2015 With The Help of Consultant BMSC Superior Silica, a young company founded in 2016, manufactures ultra-monodisperse silica (SiO2) nanoparticles and microspheres. For those unfamiliar with this, as I certainly was, silica is an amorphous compound that is derived from silicon (Si), the 14th element on the periodic table. It is an important raw material in a wide variety of materials – it is used in biological imaging and the delivery of drugs, for polishing silicon wafers, and even in the content in filtration materials such as N95 masks.

Employee #1 for the company Akshay Mathkar was a summer intern at Intel while he was completing his PhD at Rice University. He returned to Intel once he finished his studies and remained there for the next 3 years. “I am not cut out for corporate”, Akshay says, “But at Intel I developed a relationship with an overseas supplier, who introduced me to nanosilica and understand the material, and it’s significance in the semiconductor industry. This helped me in making the decision to move to Superior Silica” Akshay says, “The first few years of our company’s existence were purely research – determining if we could make a viable product that could be commercialized.” Indeed, the company today is a very viable business with a number of products, including Dry Nano powder; chemical mechanical (CMP) ‘slurries’; silica charge-stabilized dispersions; Fluorolink, custom engineered fluorescent silica nanoparticles used in bioimaging and biosensing-related applications; and ultra-monodisperse silicon dioxide (SiO2) microspheres ‘grown’ in reactors to a customizable target diameter.

Last year was Superior Silica’s first year turning a profit, and the forecast is for 50% growth in 2022.

The company is poised for even higher growth once the company’s supply issues are alleviated.

Matt Wallace, Senior Chemist, says, “We have 2 diverse customer sets; one is large Fortune 1000 customers who have high volume needs for our products, and the second is our customers who have low volume needs, primarily those in R&D. Our ecommerce company, called, Nanocym (nanocym.com), is ideal for customers who solely rely upon us for small volumes” He added, “With both sets of customers, one of the key differentiators we offer is extraordinary particle uniformity.”

In their state of the art facility in Chandler, Arizona, which occupies ~9000 square feet, Akshay says the company has the capacity to manufacture ~12 tons per year (24,000 pounds). Further, its manufacturing process is set up to run unattended, affording the company to run lean not just now but into the future when volumes are much higher.

For a young start-up entity, Superior Silica has some extremely large clients, with one of its largest a global supplier of filtration and purification products, with revenues of ~$3 billion.

“It was our corporate customers who made it quite clear that in order for us to remain a supplier with them that we would need to certify to the ISO 9001 standard”, Akshay says. Through the help of Arizona’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)s Jim Harrison, Superior Silica was connected to Bretta Kelly, owner of BMSC. The company began the ISO process with the help of BMSC in April of 2021.

Matt says, “The experience with Bretta and her colleague Debbie Hart was extremely positive.”

Akshay adds, “We really appreciated that they took the time to understand our business before helping us to put together process documentation. They recognized that as a young company, ISO would help us to build onto our processes rather than redoing what we were doing well today.”

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 50 • March / April 2022

Ryan Cordero joined the company during the ISO process. Ryan says, “BMSC helped mentor me in ISO and its importance to our business.

They did a great job in helping us to certify in a short period of time.”

Akshay says the process of attaining ISO certification was invaluable. “If we are positioning our company as one with the highest degree of quality, we needed a system with traceability — it brings us higher credibility.” Matt adds, “In a culture of research and innovation, records really matter — they enable us to analyze data comparatively with past results.”

Superior Silica has the capacity, processes, and team in place to support your ultra-precise silica needs. Additionally, it has employment opportunities in marketing/business development.

Sunlit Breaks Ground On Manufacturing Facility In Phoenix S u n lit Chemical, a leading semiconductor chemical supplier based in Taiwan, broke ground on its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Phoenix. Joined by Governor Doug Ducey, City of Phoenix leadership, legislators and economic and community leaders, the groundbreaking advances the state’s reputation as a national semiconductor leader and advances Arizona’s unrivaled semiconductor industry supply chain.

Representing a $100 million total investment in two phases, the 900,000-square-foot facility located on 17 acres in north Phoenix will produce hydrofluoric acid and other high purity grade industrial chemicals in the first phase, which will be operational in early 2023. The remaining $50 million investment for phase 2 involving raw material purification will be operational in 2025. The facility will adopt the vertical integration manufacturing process, streamlining operations.

Founded in 1972, Sunlit Chemical was the first manufacturer of hydrofluoric acid and fluoride in Taiwan. The company contributes to 75 percent of the world’s market share in producing sodium fluoride in the oral care industry and is one of the only two producers globally to obtain US FDA approval.

It is an understatement to say that employment opportunities abound at the Ahern family of companies, headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, and with facilities throughout the world.

Though the focus of this article is on its manufacturing entities Xtreme Manufacturing, Snorkel and Xtreme Cubes, the umbrella Ahern also includes an equipment rental business, a financial services arm, an engineering business, a vocational school and even a hotel, to name a few. In total, the Ahern Family of Companies incorporates 21 brands with a focus on the construction sector.

Specializing in high reach equipment, the Ahern companies provide a comprehensive offering to its customer base, including equipment sales and rentals, manufacturing, spare parts, financing, education, engineering, and transportation.

The business launched more than 2 decades ago, in 1999, when owner Don Ahern purchased Western Attachments Company, an Oregon based forklift company. As a new owner, Don quickly learned that the products could benefit from redesign, and he launched Fresno Engineering Group to design products.

Four short years later, in 2003, Don rebranded the company Xtreme Manufacturing as the company introduced its first company developed telehandler (which is another term for a forklift), and Don moved the company to the city he lived in and loved, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Over the years, Xtreme Manufacturing continued to introduce new telehandlers, offering a product portfolio that ranges from 6000 to 70,000 lbs. capacity. Today, Xtreme Manufacturing produces 16 telehandler models, as well as E-Z Loader truck beds, all of which are designed and built in the USA. In 2010, Don sketched the first concept of an ‘Xtreme Cube’ onto a paper napkin, and the first Xtreme Cube was developed. Xtreme Cubes are custom built modular structures for industrial, residential, commercial, medical and cultivation industries. They are pictured above on the right.

More than 7 years ago, the company acquired Snorkel, an aerial work platform manufacturer with plants in the US, UK, and New Zealand. Today, Snorkel manufactures the world’s largest selfpropelled boom lift. An industry first, the Snorkel 2100SJ Mega Boom reaches farther than any other boom lift at a maximum working height of 216 ft. (66m).

“Put simply Xtreme Manufacturing products pick up materials and Snorkel products pick up people”, Don says.

David Laughton was working in the Snorkel Selma, California plant for several years, directing much of the company’s fabrication and machine shop requirements. Don asked David to join the team at their state-of-the-art, expansive manufacturing plant that the company moved into in Henderson, Nevada. “The plan is to move our offshore manufacturing back to the USA and into Henderson for Xtreme Manufacturing and many of Snorkel’s products”, David says, adding, “Our 40 plus acre campus of several buildings at the Henderson location (with more than 800,000 square feet of manufacturing space) would be ideal for bringing all aspects of manufacturing of our products, from design and engineering, to fabrication, machining and even painting all in-house and in one location.” He continued, “Don has a love of manufacturing, as do I, and this was a dream come true to be part of the team

designing and implementing our manufacturing plant build-out.”

Xtreme Manufacturing owned 2 Haas machines in their Henderson location as a result of their purchase of a small fabrication company called Nevada Fab. Dave says, “We knew the Ellison Machinery dealer as a result of owning these Haas machines, because they were who we went to for service and machine maintenance.” He added, “Their service was very good and their machines worked extremely well for us.”

When it came time to add new machines to their growing business, Dave and Don were partial to the Haas machine line. As a manufacturer in the US, Don wanted to be able to use another company that manufactured their products in the USA, as Haas does. Dave additionally prefers the Haas machines for the company, he says. “Not only are they good solid machines, but they offer a number of different sizes and options to meet our needs.” He says perhaps one of the most significant differentiators for the Haas machine versus others is that service response by the Ellison Machinery team is outstanding. “If we call with an issue with a machine, we have a service person here very quickly, and 9 times out of 10, the part needed is on the truck. You can’t get this elsewhere.”

Josh Hansen, Business Manager for Ellison Machinery (pictured above with Don Ahern), supports Dave and the Xtreme Manufacturing team.

Josh says, “At Ellison, we recognize that service is one of the most important criteria in our customers’ decision to purchase their machines from us. We continue to invest in our service department, and in recent months we have added 3 new service techs as well as an Internal Service Manager.”

Dave says, “We appreciate good, honest and knowledgeable sales support like we get from Josh and his team. As an example, Josh and his team recently helped us with a critical project, extensively evaluating different machines that will reduce the time it takes to make a particular part from 6.5 hours to 45 minutes.” Dave adds that he appreciates that Josh and his team help Xtreme make the optimal machine purchases for their business, not just considering what is best for the dealer.

In just the past year, Dave and the Xtreme/Snorkel manufacturing team have added several new Haas machines to their shop, including: • The Haas ST-35Y, a medium footprint, big-bore lathe with a generous

work envelope • The Haas VF-3YT 50 taper vertical machining center with 60 hp spindle and a Midaco pallet changer • The Haas VF-6/50 taper CNC Vertical Mill with 64” x 32” x 30” travels and a Midaco pallet changer I mentioned that there are ample opportunities for employment with the Ahern family of companies. Not only can you find work in their manufacturing entities, but if you have a spouse/significant other who is moving to Henderson, NV with you, there are likely opportunities outside of manufacturing in their hotel, their technical training school, their finance arm, in their rental business, and in various sales positions. The company offers very competitive benefits, including medical, 401K (with matching), to name just a few. To learn more about employment opportunities, contact: info@xmfg.com Haas Automation manufactures a complete line of CNC vertical machining centers, horizontal machining centers, turning centers, 5-axis machining centers, and rotary products, as well as a wide selection of fully integrated automation solutions.

The House of Representatives voted to make sweeping investments in American manufacturing and scientific research as well as changes to trade policy in an effort to make the US more competitive on the global stage and counter China's growing economic influence.

The legislation -- called the America COMPETES Act of 2022 -- addresses pressing economic issues, including supply chain disruptions and a global shortage of semiconductor chips, which are essential for the production of smartphones, medical equipment and cars. Additionally, the bill calls for a number of changes to US trade rules, aiming to level the playing field for American businesses and combat China's market-distorting trade practices.

The House legislation would set aside billions of dollars to bolster research and manufacturing. It would provide $52 billion over five years to boost semiconductor research, design and manufacturing in the United States, according to a summary of the bill.

It would also provide $45 billion over six years in grants and loans to improve the nation's supply chains and to boost American manufacturing of goods deemed critical for national security and the US economy -- like products for public health, communications technology and food .

It would set aside another $3 billion for the nation's solar manufacturing supply chain, aiming to reduce the country's reliance on China for parts.

On trade policy, the bill includes a number of changes aimed at creating a level playing field for American businesses. It would strengthen US anti-dumping and countervailing duty rules and reauthorize two key tariff relief programs, known as the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill program and the Generalized System of Preferences. It would also renew a program called Trade Adjustment Assistance that provides aid to American workers who lose their jobs or whose wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. The bill would also empower the Office of the US Trade Representative to review and potentially block US companies from moving manufacturing abroad if the product is critical to the nation's supply chain or a threat to national security.

The bill would also invest $160 billion in scientific research and innovation, boosting overall funding for the Department of Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation. By Clare Foran, Katie Lobosco and Kristin Wilson, CNN

Virgin Galactic Announces Ticket Sales To The Public Will Begin Virgin Galactic announced it will begin selling reservations for future spaceflights. The cost? Just $450,000.

Those interested in making a reservation will put down a $150,000 deposit, according to a news release. Doing so will give ticket holders access to other events, trips and “space-readiness activities,” according to the release As of November 2021, about 700 reservations had been sold, per the company.

The announcement coincides with the unveiling of a new consumer brand and comes just one week before the Las Cruces company’s scheduled fourth-quarter and fullyear investor call. It also comes about one week after the appointment of Blair Rich as president and chief business officer for commercial and consumer operations.

The company expects public spaceflights to last about 90 minutes. That duration includes the launch, which is set to take place at Spaceport America near Truth or Consequences.

Once enough altitude has been reached, people are supposed to be able to unbuckle and float about the cabin weightlessly.

Richard Branson, Virgin’s billionaire founder, experienced just that in July when he and others took part in a test flight. By Collin Krabbe - Technology reporter

It May Be Time to Reconsider that Noncompete Agreement 12/21/18 10:14 AM

These days, with the Great Resignation peeling off workers right and left, companies may be tempted to get creative in how they retain employees.

But some popular strategies can land firms in legal hot water. Regulators are increasingly taking aim at agreements that restrain employees’ ability to switch jobs or command higher wages.

“Starting with updated compliance guidelines in 2016, there’s been a renewed concern and emphasis on antitrust enforcement in labor markets where historically regulators weren’t overly concerned,” says Mark McCareins, codirector of Kellogg’s JDMBA program and a clinical professor of business law. “Whether it’s wage-fixing, no-poach, or noncompete agreements, regulators are looking to other areas of concern.”

Here’s what companies should understand about navigating the current hiring enforcement landscape.

You May Be More Exposed Than You Think Aggressive new enforcement from federal regulators is putting companies that have traditionally avoided scrutiny for hiring practices under a lot more pressure. No firm is too small to evade antitrust enforcement.

“We see patchwork, state-bystate enforcement in other areas, such as board diversity,” McCareins says. “But we’re not seeing that here. The feds frankly don’t care if you’re a $10 billion conglomerate that operates nationally or a $50 million widget company in Beloit.”

C U S T O M C N C M A C H I N I N G A N D M A N U FA C T U R I N G

Local Machining Cuts Your Costs Cut your machining and transportation costs by using IPE Aerospace, an Arizona company. IPE Aerospace can machine high-tolerance components and provide limited run production parts.

Moreover, while regulators have traditionally examined potential anticompetitive practices of direct, horizontal competitors, the current regulatory focus is much broader. Today, a lack of direct competitors may not be enough to stay off the radar.

“If I’m a gadget manufacturer in Beloit, both the widget manufacturer and I may need welders,” McCareins says. “I may be tempted to contact the widget CEO and say, ‘we can at least solve the problem temporarily by agreeing not to poach each other’s welders, or fix wages so at least we can stop the bleeding until we figure out how we get more welders into our community.’

Resist the temptation. What may seem like a way to solve a short-term labor shortage risks drawing the attention of the DOJ and the FTC. Train Your Managers In most companies, senior leaders have historically taken responsibility for compliance with antitrust regulations. But in a labor environment where noncompete or nonpoach agreements or wage-setting questions land in many companies’ human resources departments, it is imperative that compliance not fall through the cracks.“Many HR managers or general managers who are dealing with labor shortages have never really been exposed to antitrust compliance topics,” McCareins says. “So the first order of business is to figure out who within your organization

is on the front lines of these types of issues.”

Don’t Expect a Warning Take note. Changes in enforcement strategy may be coming—but confusion or uncertainty around the new approach is not a defense. The FTC and DOJ are not obliged to proactively educate and warn the business community of how it may or may not be complying.

“Federal and state antitrust enforcers now 02/16/10 think that the statutes on the books simply have not been interpreted and enforced properly,” McCareins says. “They believe A2Z Metalworker it is incumbent on their agencies to aggressively enforce existing laws that have not 1/3 square - 5that 3/8have x 5 traditionally 3/8" traditionally been applied in these areas.”All thispage means that firms not paid attention to compliance in this area shouldn’t expect a warning before finding themselves facing a lawsuit.

“Training and educating prospectively is now required,” McCareins says. And if that training and education uncovers illicit agreements between your company and a competitor? Then you have to get counsel involved to figure out who’s involved, when it started, and what are the appropriate steps to take to un-ring the bell.

Above all, says McCareins, businesses will need to develop new strategies for retaining talent in a tight market.

“Business leaders are going to have to focus on what they can do to be better employers so more people want to work for them.”This article originally appeared in Kellogg Insight, a publication of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. It is used with permission.

Introducing Latitude Machinery - Your New Fabrication Dealer With Decades of Experience!

Latitude Machinery, LLC is a new machinery distributorship based in Casa Grande, AZ. Latitude Machinery is owned by Alex Warren who has over 45 years’ experience in the metal fabrication industry. Latitude features new and used machinery for the precision and structural fabrication industries and serves AZ, NM, CO and NV. With decades of experience that includes 19 years working in a shop in southern NJ and learning every aspect of the fabrication industry from shearing, punching, laser, press brake and programming as well as product design and shop floor management, Alex has extensive hands-on experience. Alex has also sold products in the industry from software, tooling, raw materials, and capital equipment and has worked for major companies such as Amada, Mazak, LVD, Mate Precision Tooling and Radan. Alex also has a partner in the business with extensive metal fabrication software and computer experience.

Latitude Machinery has partnered with some of the most well-known manufacturers of machine tools in the industry such as Euromac, Arc Cutting Industries, Jet Edge Waterjet, Geka and more with a focus, where possible, on companies that manufacture their products in the USA. Arc Cutting Industries manufactures their plasma tables in Las Vegas, NV and provides turnkey solutions in both down draft and water table designs using Hypertherm power sources and their own proprietary software.

With tables in size from 4’ x 8’ to 12’ x 120’ and offering multiple torch configurations, bevel options and drilling/milling/tapping head options, Arc Cutting Industries can meet virtually any need for any customer.

Jet Edge Water Jets are manufactured in St. Michael, MN. Jet Edge is unique in that they manufacture a complete system including their own pumps up to 90,000 psi. Jet Edge has supplied water jets since 1984 to major manufacturers, small job shops, NASCAR teams and the US military.

Jet Edge offers custom configurations for almost any application and has high accuracy (+/- .001 positioning accuracy and repeatability), specifically engineered for use in the machining and aerospace industries.

Other manufacturers Latitude Machinery represents include Euromac, a well-known and respected Italian manufacturer of punches and electric brakes, Geka Iron Workers, MG Plate and section rolls as well as sheet levelers. Latitude also represents several lines of press brakes from Deratech, Vicla and Primeline.

What Alex stated will set Latitude apart from other machinery sales companies is by building relationships with their customers. “Back in the day when I started in sales, salespeople knew their customers by name from the receptionist to the President. When you walked in the door, you were greeted by name, and they purchased your products because they knew you and trusted you.”

Unfortunately, now most companies do their research online, get quotes by e-mail, put machine features on a spreadsheet and make decisions based on who can sell it the cheapest and deliver it the fastest. There seems to be less value put on the knowledge of a seasoned sales professional that can help them make an informed and educated decision.

“This is not how I want to do business.” Alex said. “I have a lot of hands-on experience and decades of knowledge that can help a customer make the right decision for a long-term solution for their company”. There are a lot of offshore companies selling machinery for very low prices. The low prices are attractive but what doesn’t show up in a quote or a spreadsheet is the lack of support, service and spare parts availability. Saving money is good but when the machine fails to run and causes significant downtime, the disruption to your production schedule becomes very costly.

Having worked in a shop for many years, I know the problems that a down machine costs.

I have always been an advocate for my customers. Wherever I have worked I have always provided my contact information to the customer and told them that if you can’t get a prompt response from the service department, you call me and I will get you taken care of. Sales can sell anything, but good service keeps customers coming back and I want my customers for life. At the end of the day, people buy from people and I want my customers to know that I am there for them. I want to be their partner in business so to speak and be able to provide them with the tools to be successful. If I can do that then I will be successful as well.

Arizona Leaders See Huge Opportunity For Semiconductor Industry As $52b CHIPS Act Advances Last month, Congress took another step toward bringing the CHIPS for America Act into law, which will direct $52 billion to the nation’s semiconductor sector and likely benefit Arizona.

The House passed the Competes Act of 2022 on February 4, broadly designed to help the U.S. keep pace with China and reduce reliance on its manufacturing might. This bill is similar to the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (USICA) which passed in the Senate last June. Both bills contain the funding for chipmakers.

“People may not realize this is the biggest transformation in American scientific and technological competitiveness since the end of World War II, these investments, it’s really a huge deal,” Arizona State University president Michael Crow told the Business Journal.

Local leaders like Crow and Gov. Doug Ducey have been calling on Congress to pass the CHIPS Act for months.

A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

• 68 • March / April 2022

C o n g re s s m u s t re c o n c i l e t h e differences between the Competes Act and USICA before sending a single bill to President Joe Biden. Earlier this week Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the two chambers will work “as quickly as possible” to get a bill to Biden, but did not offer a more specific timeline.

Arizona Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly both voted in favor of USICA last year and all of Arizona’s Democratic representatives voted for the Competes Act, while all of the state’s Republican representatives voted against it. Biden is expected to sign the reconciled bill once he receives it.

Since joining Congress last year, Kelly has had semiconductors near the top of his agenda. He said it’s taken too long to get the CHIPS Act through Congress — likening its speed to molasses — but the bill is extremely important.

He said Arizona’s semiconductor companies will continue to employ thousands of people as resources pour into the sector, which is vital to both the state’s economy and the nation’s security.

“I think this is a very big priority, because it affects our national security,” Kelly said. “We are one conflict away from losing access to some of the best semiconductor chips in the world.”

The island of Taiwan, home of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, produces the most complex chips in the world, but recently Chinese leadership has made it clear they are willing to fight to maintain control over the island, which already has its own quasi-independent government with elected officials.

“If the Taiwanese authorities, emboldened by the United States, keep going down the road for independence, it most likely will involve China and the United States, the two big countries, in a military conflict,” Chinese ambassador to the U.S. Qin Gang told NPR last month.

Fears of military conflict in Taiwan and the fact that the majority of the world’s chips come from Asia, have inspired American politicians to try and reshore some manufacturing capacity. In Arizona, Intel Corp. is working on two additional fabs at its existing campus in Chandler and TSMC is building its first ever U.S.-built factory in north Phoenix.

Arizona is already one of the nation’s semiconductor manufacturing hubs, but ASU’s Crow said this funding gives the state a chance to supercharge the industry.

“Arizona has an opportunity here to become Grand Central Station for all things related A2Z MANUFACTURING SW

to microelectronics,” he said.

“The CHIPS Act basically says, plants the American flag and says, we’re moving ahead and we’re going to win.”

ASU turns out thousands of engineers each year and the university is launching a new advanced manufacturing and network engineering school at its Polytechnic Campus in Mesa.

Additionally, under the New Economy Initiative, ASU plans to spend $75 million to create three science and technology centers that will work in conjunction with industry to further advance the state’s semiconductor sector.

Crow said he thinks Arizona now has the potential to land the equivalent of a national lab, like Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois or Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. The CHIPS Act sets aside $10.5 billion to establish the firstever National Semiconductor Te c h n o l o g y C e n t e r a n d a National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program, which Crow would like to see in Arizona.

“We think we can become one of the new national labs for semiconductors as well as build this tremendous engineering school, beyond what we already have done, which is very significant already,” he said. “So the CHIPS Act is hugely enabling.”

Regardless of when the merged bill reaches Biden’s desk, or whether Arizona is selected as home to a semiconductor center, these project designed t o re e s t a b l i s h A m e r i c a n ’s semiconductor manufacturing strength will take years to complete as demand for chips shows no signs of letting up.
