Known for their precision-crafted springs and stampings, Baumann has carved out a niche supplying medical device components, reinforcing the city’s strategic focus on advanced manufacturing. According to an article published on Grand Prairie’s official site, this move is expected not only to strengthen Baumann’s workforce, surpassing 100 employees locally, but also to further cement Grand Prairie as a North Texas nexus for innovation.

They’ve been a fantastic partner in our city, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with Baumann to help improve health and safety around the world.” The expansion is set to include additional space at the company’s existing facility on North Great Southwest Parkway, with construction gearing up to begin this fall.
