Royal Engineered Composites in Minden has been named the 2026 Nebraska Manufacturer of the Year. The Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry awarded the honour to the aerospace parts manufacturer on Wednesday, recognising companies that implement innovative business practices and technologies.

Founded over 75 years ago, Royal Engineered Composites supplies components to Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Bell Helicopter. The company operates in Minden, a town of just over 3,000 people, yet its products are distributed globally.

In April 2026, the company announced a $5 million investment in its Minden facility, comprising a 23,500-square-foot expansion and $2 million in advanced manufacturing equipment. The expansion is expected to create 70 new positions, bringing the total workforce to approximately 250 employee-owners. The company will be recognised by Governor Jim Pillen at the annual Nebraska Manufacturing Summit on 29 October.
