Answering the Nation’s Call: Strengthening the Defense Industrial Base

The United States faces increasing pressure to strengthen its defense capabilities, expanding manufacturing capacity for critical defense projects. The need is clear, but it requires companies that can quickly adapt, invest, and scale.

A Legacy of Stepping Up

For over 70 years, NPC has built a reputation for reliability, flexibility, security and trust. What started as a newspaper publisher grew into a trusted partner for federal civilian agencies—helping deliver essential services that impact millions of Americans.

We’ve adapted, invested, and expanded our capabilities to meet complex operational needs while keeping critical missions moving forward. Now, we see an opportunity to bring that same commitment to defense manufacturing.

Ready to Invest and Deliver

While we are still defining the full scope of our role in this space, we have what it takes: financial stability, a strong operational foundation, and the ability to scale quickly. Our experience in secure, high-volume operations positions us to support the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), where additional capacity and capability are needed most.

“NPC is stepping into this space not out of necessity but out of capability. We have the resources, the financial strength, and the operational expertise to make a real impact in supporting national defense. The demand for expanded manufacturing capacity is critical, and we are prepared to invest, adapt, and deliver at the highest level to meet this challenge head-on.” – Josh Barnhart, CEO

A Partner in Progress

The right partnerships make all the difference. We can strengthen the defense industrial base with a shared commitment to national security and a focus on scaling capabilities. NPC is ready to collaborate whether you need a resource partner to expand operations, an investment partner to grow manufacturing, or a company that can integrate secure, high-quality solutions.

Your focus is securing our nation. Ours is empowering you to do it—faster, better, and with unwavering support. Let’s start the conversation and build a stronger, more secure future together.
