Bell boosts creativity through commercial centre
Bell's CBC will house up to 600 employees including all commercial programmes, global sales, customer support and services as well as supporting business functions, supply chain, information technology, HR and finance.
Bell's headquarters and Fort Worth International are close by.

Bell Textron has opened the Bell Commercial Business Center (CBC). The new facility will be located at 4151 Amon Carter Boulevard, a former American Airlines building approximately seven miles away from both Bell's headquarters and the Dallas/Fort Worth International airport in Texas.

Bell's CBC houses approximately 600 Bell employees including all commercial programmes, global sales, customer support and services as well as supporting business functions, supply chain, information technology, human resources and finance personnel.

“As we continue to expand our footprint in Fort Worth, it is important we create a space for our employees to innovate and think creatively,” says Michael Thacker, executive VP of commercial business and technology innovation. “Having a dedicated facility for commercial business will allow enhanced collaboration throughout the entire enterprise and support our vision to continue to advance the future of mobility and vertical flight.”

In addition to planned renovations at Bell's headquarter campus in Fort Worth, this facility expansion along with Bell's previously announced Manufacturing Technology Center allows the OEM to accommodate for the growth that is expected to come with supporting the US Army's Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) and Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) programmes.
