New materials for a new age.
It wasn’t too many years ago that automobiles were built of steel, aircraft of aluminum and boats of teak.
My how times have changed.
Today, composites and other advanced materials, tools and technologies are revolutionizing the marketplace, creating significant opportunities for Washington companies to invent new products that were science fiction just a decade or so ago.
Washington is one of the few places in the United States – if not the world – where the entire supply chain is accessible, from design, engineering and prototyping to raw fiber, molds, rapid set autoclaves and robotics.
Indeed, the opportunity to invest or expand in Washington has never been better as the advanced manufacturing sector continues to identify new markets, technologies and materials.
Expand your business internationally.
Washington State businesses understand the power of tapping overseas markets. Last year, $41.3 billion in goods were shipped worldwide by more than 12,000 businesses statewide, 90% of those small to medium-sized companies.
