Rathburn Tool & Manufacturing Looks to Expand Business at Indiana Defense Summit

Congressman Jim Banks, who represents Indiana’s 3rd District, hosted the Indiana Defense Summit at Purdue University’s Fort Wayne campus in September 2024. The goal of the Summit is to get local manufacturers face-to-face with defense innovators from across the country. The conversations that ensue present a golden opportunity for manufacturers in the 3rd district to expand their businesses.
For Rathburn Tool & Manufacturing President Angie Holt, the Defense Summit is a conduit for important conversations and connections. “There are so many opportunities with defense right here in our own backyard,” Holt noted. “The defense industry needs highly technical, American-based manufacturing support, including suppliers like us for precision machining—things that local manufacturers and companies like ours do very well. There are just so many advantages to working together on this important work.”
After attending the first Defense Summit, Holt enlisted the Purdue University Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) to expand upon Rathburn’s machining expertise and navigate the nuances of the defense industry. Purdue MEP and APEX have also helped the company acquire the requisite certifications and soon Rathburn landed its first projects in this category.
“We are poised to build upon the technology, the knowledge and the history to expand our work with defense contractors in the years to come,” Holt insisted. “We’re constantly expanding our capabilities to meet the challenges posed in defense manufacturing.”
