We’re proud to be featured by Spectrum News 1 Ohio, highlighting how our work goes beyond manufacturing to create opportunity with a bigger purpose.

our community, and the future of American manufacturing. This story is a great look at the impact behind the work we do every day.

💙 April is Autism Acceptance Month 💙
Autism Acceptance Month is a time to promote understanding and acceptance and to highlight the unique strengths, perspectives, and contributions of individuals on the autism spectrum.
At TAC, we believe in creating a community where everyone is supported, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive. By learning more, showing kindness, and embracing differences, we can help build a world where all individuals are valued and included.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno at TAC!
During his visit, we had the opportunity to share more about our cargo net manufacturing. This multi-year contract reflects a significant investment in domestic manufacturing and job creation right here in Ohio. We’re proud to support our nation’s defense while strengthening American manufacturing.
Thank you, Senator Moreno, for taking the time to visit, learn more about our work, and for your continued commitment to U.S. manufacturing and Made in America initiatives.

We’re excited to see TAC featured in the news! Thanks to our new long-term contracts for cargo net manufacturing and repair, TAC is continuing to grow right here in Springfield.
This work supports the mission of the U.S. Air Force while creating new job opportunities and expanding production at our facility. TAC has built more than 1.2 million cargo nets for the Air Force since 2005 and remains the only authorized repair station for Air Force cargo nets in the world.
As we expand this work, we’re proud to continue providing meaningful employment and career pathways for individuals of all abilities while strengthening American manufacturing. Thank you to our team and partners who make this impact possible every day.

A new 6-year contract with the military worth more than $100 million will allow The Abilities Connection to hire and train more people in the Springfield region. https://www.wdtn.com/as-seen-on-2-news/springfield-company-to-hire-more-after-new-government-contract/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_WDTN-TV
