Who We Are

Built on the Central Valley.
Built for the Nation.

Pacific Eastward Development (PED) is a California-based advanced manufacturing and investment company rooted in the heart of the Central Valley. We are establishing Porterville as a hub for next-generation additive manufacturing — bringing precision 3D printing capacity, skilled jobs, and domestic production capability to a community that is ready, able, and strategically positioned to deliver.

Our founder brings decades of experience in workforce development, safety management, and industrial training across power generation, heavy construction, and infrastructure projects. That background shapes everything we build. PED is not just creating a facility — we are building a workforce development program, a supply chain asset, and a long-term economic anchor for Porterville and the region.

We are a formation-stage company moving with purpose. We seek qualified manufacturing partners, workforce development allies, and government supply chain relationships that are built to last.

"I live in Porterville. I served on its City Council. This work is for the people of this city — about the mission of building real opportunity here, and leaving it better than I found it."

Why Porterville

A Strategic Location.
By Design — Not by Default.

Porterville holds a rare convergence of high-value federal and state designations that make it one of the most strategically sound locations in California for advanced manufacturing growth. We are here by choice and by strategy.

HUBZone Certified Area

Porterville is a confirmed Historically Underutilized Business Zone. This federal designation grants PED a 10% price evaluation preference in federal contract competitions and direct access to set-aside contracting opportunities — a structural advantage most manufacturers simply do not have.

Foreign Trade Zone Access

Porterville is part of the Central San Joaquin Valley Foreign Trade Zone. FTZ status provides meaningful advantages for manufacturers moving materials and finished goods — reducing duty costs, improving cash flow, and streamlining import/export logistics for advanced production.

Central Valley Logistics Corridor

Porterville sits along key Central Valley transportation routes, with direct highway access connecting to major California ports, distribution centers, and manufacturing corridors up and down the state.

A Ready Workforce

With a median age of 28.5 and a community historically underserved by quality manufacturing employment, Porterville offers both the human capital and the motivation to produce a talented, committed workforce. We see this not as a limitation — we see it as the opportunity to do something meaningful.

Together, these designations make Porterville one of the most compelling sites in California for an advanced additive manufacturing operation.

What We Do

Advanced Manufacturing.
Our Core Mission.

PED is developing a precision additive manufacturing facility designed to serve advanced domestic supply chains — qualified manufacturing partners, approved suppliers, and production requirements that demand quality, speed, and supply chain security.

What We Are Building Toward

  • Precision component production for qualified manufacturing partners and approved suppliers
  • A west-coast additive manufacturing resource for aerospace and advanced industrial needs
  • STEM workforce development and career-track training tied to production operations
  • Alignment with national additive manufacturing consortiums and industry standards bodies
  • ISO 9001 and AS9100D certification pathway for aerospace-grade quality
  • Long-term presence in the domestic advanced manufacturing supply chain
Leadership

Rooted in Workforce
and Industry.

PED's founder brings a background distinctly suited to this mission. Decades of hands-on experience in workforce development, industrial safety management, and skilled trades training — across major construction, power generation, transmission, bridge, and infrastructure projects — form the foundation of how we think about building a manufacturing operation.

We know that facilities do not run themselves. People do. That orientation toward workforce — recruiting, training, developing, and retaining skilled operators — is baked into PED's identity from the ground up.

Technical depth in additive manufacturing is built through strategic hiring. Our differentiator is operational discipline and the proven ability to develop a workforce where others see only a gap.
