More than 60 people toured the massive Fleet Readiness Center East in Cherry Point on June 7 as part of the Manufacturing Makes It Real Network. And 15 manufacturers from throughout North Carolina shared their products, hopes and needs with the group. As a result, business was conducted.
FRC East, "the vertical lift center of excellence," provides world-class maintenance, engineering and logistics support for Navy and Marine Corps aviation. Most of the 3,500 employees are civilians living in nearby communities.
While touring the composite line that makes the Harrier jet, FRC East officials shared some of their problems. A few visitors believe they may have some answers. In fact, Angela Padgett with FRC East said no fewer than eight contacts made at the event probably will lead to answers to their problems and new business for the contacts.
The Network is supported by manufacturers who join and receive promotional benefits and easy access to IES services. Network members include Keihin Carolina System Technology, Inc., Air Components & Systems, Cormetech, Inc., Diebold, Falcon Metal Corporation, Flextronics International, Glen Raven Technical Fabrics, Goulston Technologies, Inc., Max Daetwyler Corporation, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Schneider Electric USA, TE Connectivity, Wayne Brothers, Inc. and Wilmington Box Co.
