Honeywell to build $500m aerospace facility in Tempe

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 01:44 · Archive

Honeywell Aerospace announced a new $500 million manufacturing facility in Tempe, Arizona.

Honeywell Aerospace announced a $500 million manufacturing facility in Tempe on Wednesday. The 300,000-square-foot facility will support the company's largest commercial and defence customers in aerospace and aviation.

Jim Currier, president and chief executive officer of Honeywell Aerospace, said the expansion reflects growing demand for the company's technology across both markets. He stated that Honeywell's recent spin into an independent, publicly-traded company allows it to make investments that support growth and the future of aviation and defence.

The facility will enable increased production of defence technologies following an agreement with the Department of Defence signed in March. The plant is scheduled to open in late 2028 and will create 600 permanent jobs in Tempe, plus approximately 1,000 jobs during the construction phase.
