• About Robb Misso

    Robb’s driving passion is workforce and leadership development; He speaks within the community promoting these initiatives. Robb is actively involved with the Austin Chamber of Commerce participating in their annual advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. in an effort to lobby on behalf of manufacturing companies in the United States

    As CEO of Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions (DMS), Robb Misso focused on re-shoring manufacturing from outside the United States to Central TX. With 25 years of manufacturing experience, Mr. Misso knows how the modern market's development and outsourcing practices affect people on all sides. His enthusiastic approach to addressing the changes has created innovative growth within the manufacturing market and its impacted communities.

    Supporting community is something Mr. Misso practices outside of the office, as well. The winner of Austin's 2018 "Recognize Good Award," Misso also serves on the American Heart Associations' executive committee and created multiple partnerships between DMS and non-profit organizations. Misso also serves as co-founder of the Austin Regional Manufacturer's Association and in June of 2019 was awarded the National Visionary Leadership Award by the National Association of Manufacturers

    Misso believes in encouraging a culture filled with humble people efficiently communicating and executing new proactive ideas. The inclusive vision and implementation Mr. Misso strives for is the reason DMS prospered in its industry at a time when domestic manufacturing jobs were fading from the market.

    After ten thriving years in manufacturing supporting customers from Semiconductor to Pharma DMS is excited to announce and transition into its acquisition by Ultra Clean Technologies (UCT) on 4-15-19. For over two decades, UCT has been a trusted partner for high-value, complex systems integration. Together we are a global leader in the design, engineering, and manufacture of critical subsystems for a variety of industries.
