NCCO: Building a Future-Ready Workforce and Industry

NCCO: Building a FutureReady Workforce and
Industry
Combining the strengths of people and technology to
build a smarter, more resilient, and sustainable future
is what Next Gen in Manufacturing is all about for
NCCO. A vital part of this vision is NCCO’s leadership
role within the Dallas County Manufacturers
Association (DCMA).
With NCCO General Manager Evan Buell, who
serves as the Industry Champion for Training and
Creation Development with the Manufacturing Sector
Partnership, NCCO is working to ensure training is
foundational, 昀氀exible, accessible and connected.
Their e昀昀orts focus on closing gaps in entry-level
training and improving access to workforce
development resources for manufacturers across the
region. Through this collaboration, they are helping to
create a stronger, better-prepared talent pipeline for
North Texas manufacturing.
This external leadership complements NCCO’s internal
commitment to workforce development. Guided
by its core values: Respect, Integrity, Collaboration,
Innovation, and Passion for Excellence, the company
prioritizes investing in people 昀椀rst.
Recent company accomplishments re昀氀ect this
forward-thinking approach:
• 95% of waste diverted from land昀椀lls, repurposed
for energy recovery and concrete applications.
• Implementation of a highly automated production
line that reduces sta昀케ng needs, cuts work-inprocess, and boosts e昀케ciency and scalability.
• Strategic investment in ERP, HRIS, MES, and MRP
systems to support data-driven decision-making
and continuous improvement.
“Technology solves
problems, but it’s people
who create solutions.
吀栀e future depends on
equipping our workforce
to adapt, innovate and
grow.”
— Evan Buell , General Manager, NCCO
By aligning internal innovation with regional
collaboration through the DCMA, NCCO is helping
shape a culture of connection and shared purpose,
ensuring manufacturers have the talent, tools and
vision they need to succeed in the next generation of
manufacturing.
