Taylor said, “It is exciting to be part of an organization where competitors often join to provide the best solution for manufacture of individual components or assemblies. I look forward to continuing to expand ACM education and training programs as well as increasing member visibility among ACM member customers — aircraft and engine manufactures around the globe.”
