ACMI Properties and Westway Partner to Expand Secure Manufacturing Capacity for U.S. National Security
Austin, TX, September 16, 2025 – ACMI Properties (“ACMI”) and Westway Services Group LLC (“Westway”) today announced a strategic partnership to expand secure manufacturing facilities and strengthen U.S. industrial capabilities critical to national security.
The partnership between Westway, the nation’s leading provider of secure facilities, and ACMI, a driving force behind America’s industrial revitalization, will focus on two key areas:
Increasing access to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (“SCIFs”) for advanced research and development, manufacturing, and collaboration.
Developing state-of-the-art industrial campuses to accelerate production of next- generation defense technologies across the maritime, space, and munitions domains.
Access to secure spaces is in high demand for advanced manufacturing and the rapid development of cutting-edge technologies. Through this partnership, ACMI and Westway will provide secure facilities and critical resources that enable companies, universities, government agencies, researchers, and engineers to collaborate and scale the development of new technologies.
“By combining Westway’s expertise in secure facilities with ACMI’s industrial campuses, we are creating a powerful platform that will accelerate the future of defense manufacturing,” said Greg Lindsey, President and Chief Operating Officer of Westway Enterprises. “Together, we are offering resources and infrastructure essential to U.S. competitiveness and security.”
“America’s next generation of defense manufacturers need reliable access to secure facilities,” said Dave Dowell, CEO of ACMI Properties. “By partnering with Westway, we are building a more complete industrial ecosystem that enables both startups and established companies to scale production while strengthening America’s industrial base and national security.”
The partnership will also increase the resilience of America’s supply chain and open the doors of secure facilities to both new and established companies, making it easier for all the organizations critical to defense production to do their work.
