Umbra Group conceives global strategy for hybrid meetings as employees return to the office
In 2018, Italian-based UMBRAGROUP acquired Thompson Aerospace & Defense, A Saginaw, Michigan-based company that designs, manufactures, and services critical actuation components and equipment for various defense and aerospace platforms.
