OHIO - FIRST IN FLIGHT

Ohio is the birthplace of aviation and the Cincinnati region was home to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. So, it’s no coincidence that our region is home to numerous aerospace companies. With hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace suppliers located within the region or nearby in Dayton, companies in Cincinnati can maintain a strong network of partners for long-term success. Fueling that success is a concentration of production talent, aerospace engineering education, and exiting military talent that will help your business soar.

GE Aerospace is now Cincinnati’s third-largest public company, with 9,000 employees across southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky, its single largest concentration of workers across 80 facilities.

“Advanced Manufacturing Industry Partnership (AMIP) was designed to bring local manufacturers together to collaborate and find solutions for our industry’s skills gaps. Currently, AMIP has 250 active members. In 2019, we had the largest collection of Manufacturing Day events in the country, hosting more than 5,000 students at about 70 company locations. Together, we are working to better connect with our future talent pipeline.”

"Southwest Ohio is home for us, and we care deeply about the success of the manufacturers here. As the region’s only non-profit manufacturing consulting organization, TechSolve is truly mission-driven — our goal is to see manufacturers (big and small) not just meet expectations but exceed them. Whether it’s solving immediate challenges or building long-term strategies, we work side-by-side with manufacturers to help them grow, thrive, and achieve what’s next.”
