Dr Jennifer Johns joins GTMA to support additive manufacturing activities

by

Trade association, GTMA, has appointed Dr Jennifer Johns to its team as an academic advisor.

Dr Johns, a Reader in International Business at the University of Bristol, has previously worked on projects with the GTMA and brings to her role a range of expertise including research on technological change and innovation in global supply chain networks. 

Recently, Dr Johns published an extensive report examining the impact of additive manufacturing (3D Printing) on manufacturing supply chains in the UK, Germany, and USA. 

Her insights from this project will provide the GTMA, which represents leading companies in precision engineering, rapid product development, toolmaking, tooling technologies, metrology and other critical manufacturing related products and services, with opportunities to further develop its engagement activities with the UK’s Additive Manufacturing community and its Reshoring initiative.

Commenting on the appointment, the GTMA said: “This collaboration will foster a stronger understanding of additive manufacturing and supply chain strategies, providing some thought leadership and a platform to evidence development in these critical areas.”
