ACMI Properties, a division of the American Center for Manufacturing and Innovation (ACMI), has announced it will spearhead the development and construction of a new industrial campus focused on munitions. The initiative is part of a $75 million Department of Defense (DoD) contract awarded to ACMI Federal to support the initial campus by the DoD’s Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Resilience (IBR) through its Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization (MCEIP) Directorate.
“ACMI Properties is pioneering a new model for the hardware innovation cluster,” says Simon Shewmaker, Head of Development for ACMI Properties. “The campus will support the DoD’s need for a resilient munitions’ ecosystem, lowering entry barriers with shared infrastructure and collaborative space to drive synergies for established manufacturers and newer players. We hope to make scaling new emerging hardware technologies synonymous with the name ACMI Properties.”
