Northrop Grumman expands facility in Ohio

Northrop Grumman Corp. has opened a new operational area of its Beavercreek, Ohio, facility and reaffirmed its intent to add manufacturing jobs at the site.

Recent facility upgrades have enabled new work on strategic aerospace programs to come to the site, diversifying the portfolio of work and bringing new jobs to the area. The Beavercreek facility was expanded by 35,000 sq. ft. in 2017-2018 as a result of additional work and a recent award of an approximately $90 million contract to supply high-temperature composites for the U.S. military. The 154,000-sq.-ft. facility currently has more than 140 employees and produces advanced aerospace and defense composite structures.
