Northrop Grumman Expands Ohio Assembly Plant, Adds Manufacturing Jobs

BEAVERCREEK, OH—Northrop Grumman Corp. has opened a new addition to its assembly plant here and reaffirmed its intent to add manufacturing jobs at the site.

The facility has manufactured advanced aerospace and defense products for more than 30 years. The expansion will enable new work on strategic aerospace programs to come to the site, diversifying the facility’s portfolio and bringing new jobs to the area.

“Northrop Grumman has expanded our operations in Beavercreek and grown our aerospace workforce at this site by more than 50 percent since early 2017,” says Wendy Williams, vice president and general manager for aerospace structures at Northrop Grumman.

The Beavercreek facility was expanded by 35,000 square feet as a result of additional work and a recent award of a $90 million contract to supply high-temperature composites for the U.S. military. The 154,000-square-foot facility currently has more than 140 employees and produces advanced aerospace and defense composite structures.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
