Editors Corner

Dear Readers, Customers, and Friends,

After 20 years of publishing our A2Z Manufacturing Magazines, Kim Carpenter and I want to share some news. The time has come to pass the torch. Beginning with the next issue, Charlie and Alexandra Hushek will take the helm of A2Z Manufacturing, bringing fresh energy, vision, and a deep respect for the manufacturing community that has made this magazine thrive.

When I purchased the magazine two decades ago, it was called Arizona Metalworker. Our mission was simple: to celebrate the incredible companies, people, and technologies that make American manufacturing vital. Over the years, with the help of Kim, we evolved the publication to refect the full spectrum of precision manufacturing, renaming it A2Z Manufacturing and expanding with two regional editions — one for the West Coast and another serving the Rocky Mountain region. Looking back, buying this magazine was the best business decision of my life, and I have gained such respect for the shop owners and employees who build intricate, often mission-critical parts for many Fortune 500 clients.. Along the way, we have met countless shop owners, leaders, and innovators who embody grit, ingenuity, and perseverance. Your stories have flled our pages, your insights have shaped our content, and your support has fueled our work. We are deeply grateful to every advertiser, subscriber, and contributor who believed in us and helped shape the magazine into what it is today.

The timing for this transition feels right. Across the nation, we’re seeing what many call the “Silver Tsunami” — a generational wave of business owners and leaders preparing to retire and hand over their life’s work to the next generation. This moment of transition is not an end but a renewal, ensuring that the knowledge, traditions, and values we’ve built are carried forward with new vision and vitality.

Charlie Hushek, president of Phoenix Heat Treat, knows this better than most. As the third-generation leader of a family-owned business, Charlie understands the responsibility and opportunity that comes with stewardship. He and his wife Alexandra (Alex) are committed to continuing A2Z Manufacturing’s mission of spotlighting the best in American manufacturing while bringing fresh ideas to help the publication grow. Both Alex and Charlie bring a superior grasp of technology and social media, tools that are increasingly essential for connecting with readers and advertisers alike. Because of this, you may notice some exciting changes going forward — new ways to engage with the magazine, expanded digital reach, and even more timely coverage of the industry we all care about.

Kim and I could not imagine better hands to guide this magazine forward.Thank you for welcoming A2Z Manufacturing into your shops and offces for the past two decades. Thank you for trusting us to tell your stories, for sharing your triumphs and challenges, and for being part of a community that provesthat manufacturing is not just alive in America — it is thriving, innovative, and essential to our economy and our future.

Here’s to the next chapter, and I encourage you to contact Charlie and Alex to share your advertising plans. You can expect to see Kim and me around, as we are supporting the Hushek’s efforts over the foreseeable future. As always, God bless our troops.

Small Business Administration unveils loan program for small manufacturers

Eligible borrowers will be able to access revolving credit of up to $5 million for working capital needs, effective Oct. 1, and use the funds in tandem with other SBA and commercial loans.

The agency is launching a loan program that allows manufacturers to borrow up to $5 million for working capital needs.

• The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched what it calls its frst-ever loan program designed to support small manufacturers across the country by providing additional credit for working capital needs.

• Effective Oct. 1, the Manufacturer’s Access to Revolving Credit (MARC) Loan Program will provide a maximum amount of $5 million to borrowers engaged in manufacturing, according to SBA documents. The money must be used for working capital needs, such as inventory purchases or new projects.

• MARC loans can be used in combination with other SBA and conventional commercial loans, providing added fexibility to manufacturers and lenders looking for a new line of credit.

The new loan program is part of a larger, ongoing effort to

strengthen domestic manufacturing. In March, the SBA pledged to cut $100 billion in regulation, promote workforce development and expand fnancing for manufacturing to spur U.S. industrial activity.

“With 98% of American manufacturers classifed as small businesses, the new MARC Loans represent a powerful source of targeted capital for those who are growing our nation’s production,” SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffer said in a statement.

MARC capital can be structured as a term loan for up to 10 years or a revolving line of credit for up to 20 years. It cannot be used for non-working capital purposes, such as ownership changes and foor plan fnancing, according to SBA documents. If borrowers default on their MARC loans, the SBA will provide lenders a maximum guarantee of 85% for loans of $150,000 or less and 75% for loans over $150,000.

In May, lawmakers introduced a bill that would double the individual limit for 7(a) and 504 small business manufacturing loans to $10 million. Neither the House nor the Senate have voted on the bill. The SBA also launched a Make Onshoring Great Again Portal that connects small businesses with more than 1 million domestic suppliers and producers.

ISM Report: Manufacturing PMI Increases 0.4 Points to 49.1% in September

The ISM (Institute of Supply Management) Manufacturing PMI registered 49.1% last month, making September the seventh consecutive month of contraction. This fgure is 0.4 points higher than August’s fgure of 48.7%.

“Of the five subindexes that directly factor into the Manufacturing PMI, two (production and supplier deliveries) are in expansion territory, the same number as in August,” says Susan Spence, chair of the ISM’s manufacturing business survey committee. Anything lower than 50% represents contraction.

“The consecutive increases in the ISM manufacturing index are a positive sign, but a sustainable push above the 50 threshold is still some way off,” says Oxford Economics Senior Economist Matthew Martin.

The new orders index fell into contraction territory, decreasing 2.5 points for a September reading of 48.9%. The employment index registered 45.3% after gaining 1.5 points, indicating contraction at a slower rate when compared to the previous month.

The production index entered expansion territory after gaining 3.2 points for a September reading of 51.0%.

“In September, U.S. manufacturing activity contracted at a slightly slower rate, with production growth the biggest factor in the 0.4-percentage point gain of the Manufacturing PMI. However, the combined drops in the new orders and inventories indexes (4.2 percentage points) exceeded the increase in the Production Index (3.2), rendering the Manufacturing PMI improvement negligible,” Spence says.

Announcements & Releases

Five manufacturing industries reported growth in September:

Petroleum & coal products

Primary metals

Textile mills

Fabricated metal products

Miscellaneous manufacturing

“Of the six largest manufacturing industries, only one (petroleum & coal products) expanded in September, compared to two in August,” Spence says.

Respondents in the comments of the survey detail the hardships their businesses are facing due to tariffs, infation and geopolitical issues.

“Ongoing macroeconomic conditions highlighted by interestrate management and tariffs continue to impact customer purchasing decisions, resulting in subdued production rates and growing cost concerns on direct material and operations,” writes a respondent in the machinery sector.

Another respondent in the transportation equipment sector explains how these business conditions are impacting employees.“We believe we are in a stagfation period where

prices are up but orders are down due to tariff policy, and again, customers are not willing to pay the higher prices, so they are just not buying. Continuing to fnd ways to reduce overhead, which means letting go of experienced workers.”

Les Humbert is replacing John Beulter after 40 years at the helm of Wrico-AZ.

Les moved to the valley in the fall 1982 from Tucson where he was working for IBM to work for a plastic injection molding company in Tempe / Gilbert where he stays for 20 years in quality roles. He stays in the feld for another 5 years as both Engineering and Quality managers and then moved into machining and welding shops mostly for the aerospace and military industries. Currently has been with Wrico as a compliance quality offcer

and with the retirement of John Beulter, Les is the new general manager as of June 1 2025.

Wrico is a part of the Griffths corporation and have six plus facilities around the country serving many industries including, aerospace, commercial home products, agriculture, transportation, recreational vehicles. Les will maintain a smooth transition of leadership, however; will not be for 40 years.

Precision, Partnership, and Peace of Mind: The LV Swiss Story

On a quiet street in La Verkin, Utah, the sound of CNC Swiss machines flls the air. Step inside LV Swiss and you’ll fnd more than just rows of precision equipment — you’ll see a team of craftspeople, engineers, and problem-solvers who treat every part as if it’s bound for a mission-critical application. In many cases, it is. From aerospace components that must withstand extreme temperatures to medical devices that require micron-level accuracy, LV Swiss has built a reputation for producing parts where failure is not an option.

But what makes the story of LV Swiss compelling is not only their mastery of precision machining — it’s the trust they’ve earned by manufacturing 100% in the United States, in an era where tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty are the new normal.

A Company Rooted in Precision

Founded with the goal of combining Swiss machining expertise with American innovation, LV Swiss has grown steadily while holding firm to its core values: quality, reliability, and customer partnership. Each machine on the foor represents an investment not just in technology, but in customer confdence. State-ofthe-art CNC Swiss lathes, high-speed milling centers, and CNC lathe stand ready to handle complex geometries and tight tolerances.

Yet LV Swiss doesn’t tell its story through machines alone. The real narrative lies in how customers experience the company: as a dependable partner that delivers what others can’t.

Customers First, Always

Imagine being a purchasing manager at an aerospace OEM, tasked with sourcing parts during a period of rising tariffs on imported goods. Offshore suppliers suddenly tack on new surcharges. Lead

times stretch as parts languish at ports awaiting customs clearance. Budgets shrink, timelines slip, and your production schedule is at risk.

For many customers, LV Swiss has been the antidote to that uncertainty. By manufacturing entirely in the U.S., LV Swiss shields customers from tariffs and unpredictable global supply chain issues. What’s quoted is what’s invoiced. Deliveries arrive when promised, without port delays or international logistics.

As one longtime customer explained, “With LV Swiss, I don’t worry about surprises. I know the parts will be right, and I know they’ll be here on time.”

Precision Manufacturing

The tariff advantage is more than a side beneft — it’s a strategic edge for LV Swiss customers. In industries where margins are tight and timing is critical, avoiding international friction can mean the difference between proft and loss. By sourcing domestically, customers eliminate entire categories of risk: no last-minute duty charges, no currency fuctuations, no cross-border paperwork.

The benefits extend beyond cost. When engineering changes arise — and they always do — working with LV Swiss means changes can be implemented quickly. Design engineers can pick up the phone, speak directly with the LV Swiss team, and see revisions hit production in real time. That speed and clarity is impossible when working across time zones and language barriers.

Precision Without Compromise

Of course, tariff protection and logistics advantages mean little if the parts don’t meet the highest standards. That’s where LV Swiss excels. Certifed to industry-leading quality standards and registered with ITAR for defense-related manufacturing, the company brings accountability and traceability to every part it produces.

Aerospace and defense customers, in particular, rely on LV Swiss for parts that must pass stringent inspections. Medical device companies turn to them for components where a single faw could impact patient safety. Across industries, LV Swiss’s dedication to zero-defect manufacturing translates into confdence that every order will perform as expected.

Effciency Engineered Into Every Step

Much of LV Swiss’s competitive edge comes from the way it has designed its operations for effciency. The company maintains a dedicated tool crib, ensuring that when machinists set up a job, the necessary tools are already delivered to the machine. This saves hours of downtime, eliminates wasted motion, and keeps production fowing smoothly.

Weekly — and as needed — developmental meetings bring the entire team together to allocate responsibility for new jobs. Instead of one person carrying the weight of setup and planning, tasks are distributed across machinists, engineers, and quality staff. That shared accountability dramatically reduces setup time, speeds problem-solving, and ensures that every new part gets off the ground quickly.

A full-time toolmaker and an in-house machine repair specialist ensure that both tooling and equipment stay in peak condition. If a machine needs attention, it’s back up and running quickly, minimizing lost production time. In addition, LV Swiss offers in-house heat treating and passivation, critical processes that many shops must outsource. By keeping these capabilities under one roof, the company reduces lead times and gives customers faster turnaround without compromising quality.

On top of that, LV Swiss maximizes throughput by running its machines 18 hours a day. This blend of human expertise and lights-out machining means customers get their parts faster, without sacrifcing precision or oversight.

A Team You Can Count On

Technology alone doesn’t deliver excellence — people do. LV Swiss is proud of the expertise and tenure of its team, many of whom have decades of experience in precision machining. That accumulated knowledge translates directly into better outcomes for customers: smoother setups, sharper problem-solving, and an instinctive understanding of how to produce diffcult parts consistently.

For clients, the expertise of the LV Swiss team means fewer surprises, faster resolutions, and confdence that even complex or unusual challenges will be met with skill.

Inventory Solutions That Save Customers Time

Another way LV Swiss supports customers is by offering Kanban systems and inventory management for blanket purchase orders. The company will stock fnished components for up to a year, releasing them

on schedule or as needed. This arrangement allows customers to lock in pricing, reduce on-hand inventory, and ensure parts are always available without long lead times. It’s a level of fexibility and foresight that strengthens the supply chain while reducing customer stress.

More Than a Supplier: A Partner

What stands out in customer stories is not just the precision of the parts, but the partnership LV Swiss provides. When a customer faced an unexpected spike in demand, LV Swiss adjusted schedules and added shifts to ensure critical parts were delivered. When another client encountered design challenges, LV Swiss engineers collaborated directly, offering manufacturability insights that saved time and reduced costs.

These aren’t just transactions — they’re relationships built on trust. Customers know that LV Swiss will not only deliver the part, but help ensure the success of the program it belongs to.

Delivering Value Beyond the Part

Customers also find value in the effciency and innovation LV Swiss brings. By leveraging advanced tooling, lean processes, and in-house capabilities, the company reduces scrap, shortens lead times, and provides scalability from prototype through full production.

From an OEM’s perspective, this combination of quality, agility, and cost-effciency means more than just lower risk — it means competitive advantage.

A Future Built on Trust

As global markets remain unpredictable, the value of a trusted U.S.-based partner has never been clearer. Customers choose LV Swiss not only for precision machining, but for the peace of mind that comes with knowing their supplier is stable, dependable, and tariff-proof.

Back in La Verkin, the machines continue to hum, producing parts that will travel across the country and around the world. For LV Swiss, every component tells a story of precision, partnership, and pride in American manufacturing. And for their customers, it means confdence in every delivery, every time.

I will be working with the Aerospace, Military, Air, Land & Sea also DOD, including the US Navy programs.

Business loan approval rates rose at regional and community banks as well. Small banks granted 49.8 percent of the funding requests they received in August, up one-tenth from July. It represents the highest figure for small banks since November 2014.

Institutional lenders — pension funds and insurance companies — remained unchanged at an Index record 64.9 percent, up one-tenth of a percent from July’s figure.

Loan approval rates among alternative lenders rose to 56.6 percent, one-tenth of a percent higher than in the previous month.

Our Certification are NADCAP and ISO 9001/AS9100 ITAR, fully accredited. By meeting the rigorous requirements of these standards, you can be assured that your product will be consistently processed to the highest degree of quality while meeting your delivery needs.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Alternative lenders have become a source of quick capital. When small business owners, alternative lenders could approve riskier loans via innovations in fintech, which give them more flexibility than the banks to adjust rates and covenants on the deals. This includes an ability to accept non-conventional sources of collateral, such as real estate and outstanding invoices (h/t Forbes).

manufacturing facility in Tooele, Utah. The 100,000-sq.-ft plant, the company’s 13th nationwide and westernmost to date, represents a multimillion-dollar investment in the community and is expected to create more than 90 jobs.

“This facility is more than just a building—it’s a symbol of our commitment to growth, innovation, and the power of employee ownership,” said Central States CEO Jim Sliker. This manufacturing expansion supports Central States’ fastgrowing pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) business, as well as its roofng and siding, post-frame, self-storage, living spaces, and metal components operations. The site will manufacture a variety of residential and commercial roof and wall panels in a variety of gauges, a wide selection of accompanying trim, and structural purlin. The new plant will also produce the Alpha Framing System, a proprietary framing system that is faster to install than traditional framing methods and is offered exclusively through Elevate Structures, a Central States company.

The Tooele plant opening marks the frst time in company history that Central States has opened two new manufacturing sites in the same year. In August 2025, the company celebrated the launch of its Springdale, Ark., frame and structural steel plant under its Central States Building Works business.

New Tax Law: Discover the Many Benefts for Manufacturers

The new tax law known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act offers some major benefts to manufacturers. Some of the key industry provisions include expanded R&D expensing benefts, greater depreciation opportunities for equipment, and production and manufacturing related tax credits and deductions.

Explore details to learn how your company can take advantage of the new and expanded benefts. For more details on general business and individual benefts, check out our comprehensive analysis of the new tax law.

Key benefts for manufacturers in the new tax law:

Permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation

The new law permanently reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying

Expanded research and experimental expensing

Manufacturers can now permanently deduct 100% of domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. Unamortized research and experimental expenditures from prior years can either be deducted in 2025 or split between 2025 and 2026.

Small business taxpayers (threeyear average gross receipts of $31 million or less) can amend prior-year filings and request refunds for previously paid taxes on capitalized expenditures. However, the R&D tax credit must be reduced on the amended tax returns.

The requirement to capitalize and amortize foreign research and experimental expenditures and amortize over 15 years was retained.

Enhanced Qualifed Production Property deductions

The new law created a deduction for Qualifed Production Property (QPP), which includes nonresidential real property used as an integral part of qualifed production activity. Manufacturers can deduct 100% of the adjusted basis of such property in the year it’s placed into service. The property must be used in qualifed production activity defined as manufacturing, production, or refining of tangible personal property. The original use of

the property must begin with the taxpayer taking the QPP deduction.

This provision excludes properties used for administrative services, lodging, and other nonmanufacturing activities.

Construction must begin after January 19, 2025, and before January 1, 2029, and the property must be placed in service before January 1, 2031. A cost segregation study will be needed to breakout costs and determine the portion of the real estate qualifying as production property.

Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit increase

The advanced manufacturing investment credit percentage was increased from 25% to 35% for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. This credit is for qualifed investment in advanced manufacturing facilities with a focus on manufacturing semiconductors or semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

Non-industry specifc business benefts in the new tax law

Qualifed business income (QBI) deduction made permanent

The QBI deduction — which allows pass-through entities to beneft from a 20% deduction on qualifed business income — was made permanent.

Interest expense limitation expansion

The interest expense limitation calculation was revised to again include an add back for depreciation, amortization, and depletion. This change is effective for tax years beginning

after December 31, 2024.

If the new adjusted taxable income calculation in 2025 results in excess taxable income, it could create capacity to deduct interest expense disallowed in 2024 and prior years.

Qualifed small business stock (QSBS) exclusion enhancement

QSBS benefts are signifcantly expanded and relax certain requirements:

• Increases gross asset test from $50 million to $75 million (infation adjusted starting 2027)

Manufacturing in Utah ‘really taking off,’ Small Business Administration offcial says

Manufacturing in Utah is “really taking off,” according to the deputy administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, touting some of the impacts now being felt by the “big, beautiful bill.”

According to William Briggs, who was confrmed to be the second-in-command of the administration in July, the most common loan application coming from the Beehive State is for manufacturing — in most states or cities, the most popular loans are for hospitality or accommodations, helping restaurant or hotel businesses.

But Utah’s growing focus on manufacturing is “unique,” Briggs told Utah News Dispatch, after touring Beacon Commercial Door and Lock, a nearly 60-year-old company that began manufacturing in-house in 2020 and currently employs 64 people.

Located in South Salt Lake, Beacon credits its success in part to help from the Small Business Administration, or SBA, which helped fnance the company’s expansion. Since 2018, when the company started mulling whether it should manufacture in-house, Beacon says revenue has grown by 28%, its workforce by 22% and its net income by nearly 400%. The company’s president, Chad Riches, said that’s allowed the company to give better benefts, retirement plans and increase wages. “We have more employ-

ees that have higher wages, and they pay more income taxes. Because we have more employees, we pay higher employment taxes. The company makes more and so we pay more in taxes,” Riches said, calling it a “return in investment” for the SBA.

Micron pledges AI education investment to accelerate opportunities for America’s youth

Micron Technology is proud to announce its commitment to the White House’s Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education, a national initiative aimed at preparing our youth to lead in an AIpowered future.

Over the next four years, Micron will empower more than 40,000 learners and educators through a comprehensive suite of AI education programs, hands-on learning experiences and employee-led mentorship. This pledge refects Micron’s belief that access to AI education is essential to securing America’s technological leadership. Specifcally, Micron’s commitments include:

• Incorporating AI lessons and activities

in 100% of our signature programs – such as Chip Camps, Going Tech, and Careers in Tech;

• Collaborating with our customers and STEM funders to expand AI education opportunities;

• Launching a volunteer program to mentor over 1,000 students in AI concepts and careers;

• Partnering with national and regional nonprofts to expand access to AI education for our communities;

• Launching free AI activities on Micron’s Educator Hub for teachers to access materials to support their curriculum; and

• Expanding access to technology through ongoing in-kind donations of computers and devices to youthserving nonprofts.

These commitments directly support the White House’s April executive order Advancing Artifcial Intelligence Education for American Youth, and reinforce Micron’s longstanding commitment to strengthening the U.S. STEM pipeline.

Securing America’s future requires winning the AI race. As the only American memory manufacturer and a technology leader, Micron’s innovations – particularly in high bandwidth memory – are key to powering the AI revolution. In partnership with the Trump Adminis-

tration, Micron is making the largest domestic semiconductor investment in U.S. history: $200 billion in manufacturing and R&D, which will create an estimated 90,000 American jobs. Micron has long worked to strengthen the domestic STEM pipeline and strongly welcomes public-private partnership to advance AI education in particular.

“I commend President Trump for investing in AI education in schools and communities across the US,” said Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. “AI is unlocking a transformative era, and Micron is committed to meeting this historic moment. This initiative accelerates opportunities for America’s learners in an AI-driven economy.”

Now, impacts from Congress’ budget bill that passed this summer, known as the “big, beautiful bill,” are being felt by small businesses like Beacon. Riches said not taxing overtime and paid or family leave being tax deductible are among the biggest impacts — so is the ability to expense 100% of the manufacturing equipment Beacon bought several years ago to make metal and wooden doors and doorframes at its South Salt Lake factory. “It allows us to put time, effort and money into research and development,” said Riches.

The state capitol is no longer the only golden dome in Colorado.

The state’s aerospace and defense industry has grown to have a $38 billion impact, economic development offcials estimate, much of it due to government contracts. Now, the Golden Dome, a national program being pushed by President Donald Trump, has put a down payment of $25 billion up for grabs.

A joint study by the Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte Consulting projects a surge of nearly 3.5 million open manufacturing jobs created over the next decade. Some of the empty slots will come by way of retiring baby boomers, while others are related to new positions created as a result of natural business growth, the report found.What the report also predicts: As conditions stand now, 2 million of those jobs will go unfulfilled. In other words, the need for the manufacturing sector to appeal to Millennials – the generation typically defined as those born between 1981 and 1997 – is both critical and a very tall order.

Design specifcs for the Golden Dome, a missile defense system aiming to cover the continental United States, haven’t been fgured out, but this is the general idea:

Indeed, manufacturing still has a negative image among younger generations, experts say. In a 2015 public perception of manufacturing study, also by The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte, respondents ages 19 to 33 ranked manufacturing as their lowest preference in terms of potential career choices.

A missile aimed at the continental United States screams across the upper atmosphere. A satellite network notices the rocket and triggers the launch of a countermissile to blow it out of the sky before it reaches American soil. Trump has said he wants Golden Dome built by the end of his term, and Colorado’s robust defense industry smells money.

Manufacturing’s image problem is complex and in, some aspects, based on false assumptions. But one real obstacle is that some manufacturing systems can seem antiquated, and it’s an issue that many manufacturers and related organizations are already addressing.

Modern and accessible tech

Congress’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act established a down payment of $25 billion to kickstart Golden Dome. The Congressional Budget Offce estimates that the defense system could ultimately cost between $161 billion and $542 billion over two decades. The White House, alternatively, put a $175 billion price tag on the project.

Colorado, with the largest per-capita aerospace industry in the nation, according to the state’s Offce of Economic Development and International Trade, could see a hefty slice of Golden Dome’s taxpayer-funded pie.

Forward-looking companies and organizations in the manufacturing sector are working to update systems so they better align with the ease and accessibility of user experience so pervasive with personal technology. Traditional manufacturing platforms – for example, manufacturing execution systems and supply chain applications – are being redesigned with new mobile interfaces, cloud capabilities and modern-day dashboards to make what has historically been perceived as arcane into something far more friendly and familiar to a tech-savvy audience.

U.S. Space Force General Michael Guetlein was selected to lead the program. Shortly after his July 17 confrmation, Guetlein said he had been given 60 days to come up with Golden Dome’s architecture. He has not yet released details of what’s being planned.

“As Millennials move into the manufacturing environment, there’s a certain expectation that the technology they are interacting with will work the same as what they grew up with,” said Matt Wells, product general manager for automation software at GE Digital. “The entire generation expects that data will be available to them anytime, anywhere, even outside of the plant. If they need access to information, they don’t want to call someone; they want to pull out their phone and see what’s going on.”

That suggests some elements of Golden Dome will begin to be identifed this fall and lucrative early contracts will be out for defense and aerospace contractors to win in the months and years ahead.

One way to gain traction with Millennials is to provide access to tools they want to use, not simply those required to do their jobs, Wells said. “Millennials want to work in organizations that are reflective of

The dome is expected to involve a system of satellites in orbit, radar systems and other elements connected to defensive weapons — hardware of the sort companies in the Denver area have a history of making for the military.

Colorado companies tapped for satellite, battery storage work

OIL MIST AND SMOKE

Two Denver-area companies saw millions in contracts from the U.S. Department of War announced.

Greenwood Village-based City Light and Power Inc. won a $44.5 million contract from the U.S. Navy to build energy-storing batteries in two locations at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California, by March 2028. Lockheed Martin’s Jefferson County space division saw its over $4 billion contract with the U.S. Air Force to build GPS satellites upped by $19.2 million as well.

The contract did not specify what part of the project the additional $19.2 million will fund.

Delays in TSMC’s Arizona plant spark supply chain worries

The GPS III contracts cover building and supporting a new generation of global positioning satellites to replace the existing feet as it nears the end of its lifespan. The new satellites broadcast an encrypted signal for the military called M-Code — meant to be more diffcult to crack than existing transmission encryption — and a civilian aviation safety signal called L5.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has said it is unlikely to equip its new US plant in Arizona with its most advanced chip technology ahead of its Taiwan factories, raising concerns about supply-chain hurdles for tech companies.

Speaking at a university event in Taiwan, TSMC CEO and Chairman C.C. Wei attributed the delays at TSMC’s Arizona factory to a combination of complex compliance requirements, local construction regulations, and extensive permitting processes, according to a Reuters report.

Lockheed Martin Space frst won a GPS III contract in 2008 for the first ten satellites. The company subsequently spent $80 million building a satellite factory at its headquarters in Waterton Canyon near Littleton.

In May, Lockheed Martin won a $509.8 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to build two more GPS III satellites, bringing the total contract value to $4.1 billion.

Wei explained that each stage of construction requires permits, with approval timelines taking at least twice as long as in Taiwan, creating challenges in deploying the company’s most advanced chip technology.

In July, City Light and Power scored a $23.6 million job from the U.S. Army to build power generation and a microgrid — a power supply independent from a centralized grid — in Fort Riley, Kansas. By Jackson Guilfoil – Denver Business Journal

Additional obstacles, Wei said, include supply chain disruptions and a lack of established regulations for chip plant construction in the US, which have further hindered progress.

Breathalyzer maker Lifeloc to merge with tech frm in all-stock deal

Wei also noted that chemical supply costs in the US are substantially higher, citing the need to ship sulfuric acid from Taiwan to Los Angeles and then transport it to Arizona by truck.

Despite these setbacks and increased costs, Wei expressed optimism during the company’s recent earnings call, assuring that the Arizona plant would meet the same quality standards as its facilities in Taiwan and forecasting a smooth production ramp-up.

A publicly traded Wheat Ridgebased company that develops, makes and sells breathalyzers has struck a merger deal to acquire a Washington-based technology company in an all-stock transaction.

The US government has extended robust support to TSMC’s investment, offering a $6.6 billion grant through CHIPS and Science Act to lessen dependence on Asia for semiconductor manufacturing and address geographic vulnerabilities in the global chip supply chain.

Electronic Systems Technology Inc., based in Kennewick, Washington, has agreed to become a subsidiary of Colorado’s Lifeloc Technologies Inc.

Between April and June, the companies started formal discussions regarding an all-stock transaction, according to flings.

TSMC’s challenges in the US Analysts point out that the US regulatory environment is more complex than Taiwan’s, leading to longer timelines and higher costs for TSMC’s Arizona project.

“The Lifeloc Board determined that the proposed merger provides Lifeloc shareholders with the potential for long-term value creation through economies of scale, expanded product offerings, and the opportunity to monetize its investment in ELST by acquiring full ownership in a business with synergistic operations,” Lifeloc’s prospectus said.

“Unlike Taiwan’s streamlined regulations, the US has a sequential, multi-layered approval process, including stringent construction, environmental, and safety codes that necessitate adjustments,” said Manish Rawat, semiconductor analyst at TechInsights. “Supply chain constraints, such as higher material costs and logistical challenges, further increase expenses.”

The SEC flings noted the merger would combine ELST’s customer base with Lifeloc’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities.By Noelle Harff – Denver Business Journal

Taiwan holds over $100 billion in assets and decades of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, while the US is still catching up in terms of resources and governance needed to recreate the infrastructure required to support production, said Hyoun Park, CEO and chief analyst at

Manufacturer eyes adding 1,700 jobs, moving HQ to Aurora

A longtime Denver manufacturer that specializes in construction services has offcially chosen Aurora for a major expansion that will include the relocation of its corporate headquarters.

RK Industries will expand to a 154,000 square-foot facility that will serve as a headquarters for four of the company’s eight business units, including its corporate headquarters, the company said. Currently, RK’s corporate headquarters is in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, at 3800 Xanthia St.

In addition to the RK Industries corporate offce, the company plans to house individual headquarters in Aurora for its RK Mechanical, RK Service and RK Electrical, as well as the RK Foundation business units, according to an announcement from the state.

The expansion is expected to add more than 1,700 jobs over the next eight years for roles such as project engineering, fnance, accounting and account management, according to documents from the Colorado Department of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT). The added space will amount to doubling of RK Industries’ local operations. The state in August offered RK Industries a job-growth tax incentive package worth $24.4 million to choose Aurora for its expansion over locations in other states. The added jobs are expected to pay an average yearly wage of about $93,000.

RK Industries ultimately chose Colorado because of its strong roots in the state and its robust advanced manufacturing sector, the company said.

“Relocating our headquarters to Aurora isn’t just about expanding our footprint in Colorado, it’s about expanding opportunity,” RK Chief Operating Offcer on Jon Kinning said in a statement.

The company today has close to 1,300 employees, more than 1,000 of whom are located in Colorado and about 700 of whom already reside in Aurora, offcials said.

In addition to its corporate headquarters, RK Industries already has two facilities in Aurora, a fabrication space in Henderson, an offce in Vail and a facility in Colorado Springs, according to its website. The company also has a presence in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.

RK Industries used to be known as RK Mechanical. The company started as a family-owned business that launched in the 1980s.

The company restructured in 2021 to make RK Industries LLC the umbrella organization for its various business lines, one of which is RK Mission Critical, a modular construction operation that has worked on custom-engineered modular containers with clients in the data center, cryptocurrency and agtech industries.

Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor said in a statement that RK’s expansion in the city will meet a growing demand in advanced manufacturing and construction.

“Companies like RK are providing meaningful careers in skilled trades and manufacturing,” Batchelor said.

RK Industries offers accredited apprenticeship programs in seven skilled trades that range from electrical and plumbing to HVAC services and welding.By Analisa Romano – Denver Business Journal

Dear Valued Readers, Advertisers, and Industry Partners,

First and foremost, I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Linda and Kim for their many years of tireless work championing American manufacturing. Their leadership, commitment, and relationships built within our community have laid the foundation for the magazine’s success, and we are honored to continue their legacy.

The frst thing we want to assure you of in this transition is our commitment to maintaining and building on the mission and vision that Kim and Linda have cultivated these last 20 years. The A2Z Manufacturing mission stands strong: “A2Z Manufacturing Magazine informs, connects, and champions American manufacturers, by delivering impactful content, showcasing success stories, and promoting technological advancement in precision manufacturing.”. We remain focused on the same vision “To be the leading voice and connector for precision manufacturing in the Western United States”. And we will continue these core values that have made this brand successful, such as Championing American Manufacturing, Inform & Inspire, Community & Connection, Innovation & Adaptability. We will keep all these values in mind while we shape the brand for the next 20+ years!

In practice, this looks like celebrating and elevating U.S. manufacturers, innovators, and workforce contributors. It is fostering a strong, collaborative network across the regional manufacturing landscape while evolving with our industry, embracing new media and technologies. It is our goal to continually better serve our audience, while providing timely, relevant, and actionable insights to educate and energize our readers.

We’re excited to bring fresh ideas to each publication, including new columns and recurring features designed to drive deeper reader engagement. One such feature will be a standard column on leadership and culture—the columnist will be announced soon. For now, we will give you a hint, this new columnist had a 9-digit manufacturing exit!

We are also excited to announce that in 2026 we will have our frst 40 under 40 issue highlighting some of the best and brightest in the industry. We look forward to our communities’ submissions.

I will take this opportunity to introduce ourselves.

Alexandra Hushek (Managing Partner & Editor-in-Chief) has spent the last 2 years working in the marketing and branding space supporting a custom home builder. Having worked closely with design she helped bring their ideas to life through digital media campaigns, web development, and overall digital integration across their brands. As Editor and Chief, she will play an integral role in formatting the magazine, leading the digital strategy, and working hand in hand with our advertisers.

For myself, I have spent the last 8 years working in manufacturing, however I grew up in and around Phoenix Heat Treating.

Today I serve as the President of Phoenix Heat Treating and Mesa Custom Machining, both of which are family owned and operated manufacturers in Arizona. Preserving and enhancing legacy is important to me, which is why maintaining the magic of a company even during transition is my focus. As Executive Publisher of A2Z Manufacturing Magazine, I will spend my time exploring ways to provide more value to the readers as well as our advertising partners.

Lastly, we also invite you to follow and share our offcial LinkedIn page with your network. This step will help amplify the exposure of our valued sponsors and connect our print presence to a vibrant digital community.

We are thankful and energized to take the baton from Kim and Linda, and we are excited for what lies ahead. As always, God bless America and God bless our troops.

Sincerely,

Charlie Hushek Managing Partner & Executive Publisher A2Z Manufacturing Magazine
