Today the team came together to celebrate our cargo nets being 100% made in America! From start to finish, every piece of the cargo nets will be sourced and produced right here in the United States. It was a great day filled with pride, recognition of the incredible work our team does every day to support our nation’s defense and strengthen domestic manufacturing - and of course apple pie! Here’s a sneak peek at today’s festivities, more photos to come!

Last week in Washington, D.C., TAC had the opportunity to meet with U.S. Representatives Mike Turner, Congressman Warren Davidson, and Jim Jordan to share the continued growth of our mission in action.

Over the past year, TAC has added more than 40 new jobs for individuals of all abilities. This growth has been made possible through ongoing investment in innovation, automation, and modernization within our cargo net production operations.

We also shared updates on our recent cargo net contract renewals, including an exciting milestone: our cargo nets will be 100% Made in America, with all materials sourced right here in the United States. Pictured here, the Congressmen are holding a sample cargo net strap produced entirely with domestic materials.

We always appreciate opportunities to advocate, build relationships, and highlight the incredible work of our team members who make all of this possible every day.

For him, it’s about more than just the work. It’s about knowing he’s helping support the military and contribute to real missions. Every net he helps produce plays a role in something bigger.

At the same time, the job has helped him build independence, learn new skills, and create a sense of stability for his future. Read more on our blog:

💬 Quote of the Day:
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”
A great reminder that every effort matters. Even the smallest steps can lead to meaningful impact.
