Pointe Precision Inc. Attending Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit Seattle, March 11-13, 2014


Pointe Precision will be attending the Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit Seattle, March 11-13, 2014. The first of its kind in the United States, Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit Seattle is an opportunity for leaders in the aerospace industry to meet with potential industry partners.

The Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit will be held at the Seattle Convention Center, March 11-13, 2013. It is endorsed by The Boeing Company and will be hosted by BCI Aerospace with support from the Washington State Department of Commerce. Event sponsors include the Washington Aerospace Partnership, Accenture and the City of Renton. Four Boeing business units - Commercial Airplanes; Defense, Space and Security; Engineering, Operations & Technology; and Shared Services Group - will participate in the event.

"There is tremendous opportunity in the aerospace market over the next 20 years and collaboration is the key," said Kent Fisher, vice president and general manager of Supplier Management for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Boeing needs a dynamic, engaged, highly capable and constantly improving supply chain. That's why we are supporting the 2014 Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit in Seattle and encouraging our top tier suppliers to attend."

Washington State helped with the first ever ADSS in Seattle, March 2012, which was attended by 800 companies representing 30 countries participating in 10,000 pre-scheduled meetings exchanging ideas and exploring potential partnership. The 2014 program will offer all participants the opportunity to sign up, identify and request meetings with relevant contacts prior to the show. The business to business format is extremely efficient for the attendees to maximize their use of time and schedule pre-arranged meetings with their highest priorities.

The first day will include a presentation by Boeing and include key insights from industry leaders with the following days consisting of workshops and one-on-one meetings. In addition to providing a forum for exchanging ideas and developing future business opportunities, the Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit is one of the world's largest business networking events for the aerospace industry.

Pointe Precision Inc. is one of the leading airborne structural/mechanical components manufacturers.
