The Federal Government has announced the formation of a team that will aim to help Australian companies access the global supply chain of defence giant Northrop Grumman.

 

The team was formed after the Federal Government and Northrop Grumman signed an annex under a Global Supply Chain Deed, which will fund the team.

 

The signing of the annex will allow the team, which is embedded in the company, to:

  • actively look through Northrop Grumman’s global supply chain activities and identify opportunities for Australian industry;
  • identify Australian companies who have the potential to be suppliers to Northrop Grumman; and
  • provide training to Australian companies on how to work with Northrop Grumman and be internationally competitive. 

 

Northrop Grumman is one of four companies that have now signed annexes and set up teams to help Australian companies to identify opportunities within their global supply chains.
