Aerospace and defense manufacturers are navigating an increasingly complex landscape as they balance the modernization of defense systems with supply chain vulnerabilities, workforce transformation and evolving domestic and global threats. Yet within these challenges lies extraordinary opportunity for supply chain organizations that adapt, innovate and lead.
Please join us for UHY’s Annual Manufacturing Supplier Outlook, “Igniting the Future of Aerospace & Defense Supply Chain,” co-hosted by Warner Norcross + Judd LLP and Fifth Third Bank. This premier event brings together industry leaders, defense experts and Michigan manufacturers to discuss how supply chain businesses can position themselves for growth in this critical sector.
Matt Casey, executive partner of Warner’s Macomb County office, will moderate the panel “Suppliers moment! How to seize extraordinary growth opportunities in the defense sector.” Panelists include:
- Mike Stone, partner, Warner and retired Major General
- John Gutierrez, executive director, Michigan Office of Defense and Aerospace Innovation and retired Colonel
- Darren Werner, president, SAPA Transmission and retired Major General
With Michigan’s defense infrastructure positioned at the nexus of technology, manufacturing and strategy, this discussion will explore how supply chain companies can answer the nation’s call while also capturing new business opportunities.
The event will be held at the Detroit Athletic Club on Thursday, Oct. 23. For more information and to register, please click here.
