🚢 Fastech is heading to the ATDM Maritime Workforce Forum next week, and for us, it's a home game.
On June 3, we'll be at the Institute for Advanced Learning & Research in Danville, VA alongside defense leadership, industry partners, and keynote speaker Vice Admiral Robert M. Gaucher, Director of Submarine Programs, U.S. Navy.
We're part of this ecosystem every day. Fastech operates within the same industrial park as the Center for Manufacturing Advancement, ATDM, and IALR, working alongside the organizations that are actively building the next generation of America's defense manufacturing base.
That proximity isn't just geography. It's collaboration.
The conversation this forum centers on additive manufacturing, underwater deterrence, and the submarine industrial base - is one we live close to. The Virginia-class submarine program demands manufacturing at the highest level of precision and material integrity. Components don't get a second chance at depth. Additive manufacturing is reshaping how that work gets done: faster qualification cycles, reduced supply chain dependencies, and part geometries that weren't possible before.
Fastech brings precision metal fabrication capabilities, including work in NAB and marine-grade alloys, that feed directly into this kind of high-integrity, high-consequence production environment.
Five years of ATDM. A newly completed Maritime Training Center. A U.S. Navy AM Center of Excellence on site. This region is becoming a serious node in the defense manufacturing network, and we're proud to be part of it.
If you'll be at the forum, come find us.
