The AAMMC Tech Hub in Spokane, Washington

SPOKANE IS AMERICA’S THERMOPLASTICS HUB

Spokane has emerged as the American leader in thermoplastics and thermoplastic research through the American Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Tech Hub, led by the American Aerospace Materials Manufacturing Center.

This hub is focused on creating domestic supply chains to meet the growing demand for high-rate production of advanced composite aerostructures for defense and commercial markets. Building on the region's aerospace expertise, strong research partnerships, and skilled labor force, the hub aims to advance thermoplastic composite technologies, including the development of a testbed facility for lightweight aircraft components like ribs, beams, and doors.

In January 2025, the EDA awarded the Tech Hub $48 million in funding to purchase cutting-edge thermoplastic composite equipment, to facilitate the development of prototypes and test elements for military and commercial applications.
