As U.S. buyers accelerate domestic sourcing strategies, that foundation is proving to be exactly what the market needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTexas isn&#8217;t just keeping pace with the nation&#8217;s manufacturing growth, it&#8217;s leading it, and we&#8217;re proud to be part of that momentum. Certified shops are capturing a wave of demand from buyers across the country, and more of them are finding it on Xometry,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=YZ96-CIhpWW5SpZqUYDZNJ6Z5KkRS0gv3dyVD9gAhhiN0M-Rt06XEAWYBDjUxeUZBJB9H6uUDjpsHx0r9wVe2AfV7VH89pXKyES9O-wTxLddntWBOX3tEDkP9rHR3tYQ8TNGhoR3de01lvc8lgzpPvOrRNgvzEMOoQUrAMIWpnY=\"><u>Silpa Gollapalli, SVP of Global Operations at Xometry.<\/u><\/a> \u201cOur partner network in Texas is turning that demand into real growth, filling shop floors with work they wouldn&#8217;t have had access to a year ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The data shows that growth extends well beyond job volume. The sharpest signal is the accelerated premium on certified manufacturing capabilities. Jobs on Xometry\u2019s platform requiring industry credentials\u2014including AS9100D, ISO 9001, ITAR, and CMMC Level 2\u2014generated approximately 3.4x the annual job value of non-certified jobs in 2025. In Texas, that translates to a range of real projects such as machined tool-steel fixtures for aerospace production tooling, CNC-milled corrosion-resistant fittings for shipboard defense electronics, and 3D-printed flame-retardant housings for unmanned aerial vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Geographically, manufacturers fulfilling jobs are concentrated in a handful of key manufacturing hubs. Eleven Texas cities account for approximately 81% of the state\u2019s total manufacturing job value on Xometry\u2019s platform over the past year, with El Paso and Houston together representing 51%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe built M3 Aerospace around certifications from day one\u2014AS9100D, ISO 9001, and ITAR\u2014because we knew the customers we wanted to serve wouldn&#8217;t compromise on quality or compliance. That bet has paid off. Through Xometry, we&#8217;ve seen certified demand accelerate across aerospace, defense, and energy, and Texas is right at the center of it.
