Bell Textron Inc. has announced the opening of the Bell Commercial Business Centre (CBC). The new facility is located at 4151 Amon Carter Boulevard, a former American Airlines building approximately seven miles away from both Bell’s Headquarters and the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
The CBC will house approximately 600 Bell employees including all Commercial Programmes, Global Sales, Customer Support and Services as well as supporting business functions, Supply Chain, Information Technology, Human Resources and Finance personnel.
“As we continue to expand our footprint in Fort Worth, it is important we create a space for our employees to innovate and think creatively,” said Michael Thacker, executive vice president, Commercial Business and Technology innovation. “Having a dedicated facility for Commercial Business will allow enhanced collaboration throughout the entire enterprise and support Bell’s vision to continue to advance the future of mobility and vertical flight.”
In addition to planned renovations at Bell’s Headquarter campus in Fort Worth, this facility expansion along with Bell’s previously announced Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) allows Bell to accommodate for the growth that is expected to come with supporting the US Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) programmes.
