Head of Sustainability at AE Industrial Partners, LP

My last stop last week was with Carla Monti at AE Industrial Partners, LP's portfolio company Redwire Space's Longmont, CO locations. We met JJ Francis, MCR, Redwire's new Head of Facilities, who gave us an in-depth tour of both of the company's Longmont, Colorado locations. During the visit, we were able to view Redwire's anechoic chamber, where they test the range on the antennas that are sent into space as a part of a satellite payload, and toured the facility where the antennas are manufactured. We also saw other interesting space items, such as the material for the solar sails that propel space objects. In our time with the team, we learned about some of their programs and shared ideas, especially as they relate to AEI's sustainability theme of promoting occupational health and safety. Redwire had a KPA health and safety audit last year that they continue to benefit from through implementation of new programs. They are also focusing on culture with dedicated initiatives for employee engagement like TieDye Fridays (FriDye) and lunch and learns, where employees share information and insights with their colleagues at their Longmont location. Every site visit I complete yields invaluable findings on the amazing work happening across AEI's portfolio.  Thank you to JJ, Brenda Kloberdanz, Director of Programs, and Christopher Oesch, Vice President of Engineering, for sharing their knowledge and passion for Redwire with us. I look forward to collaborating on sustainability projects in the future.  #space #sustainability
