Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has completed its strategic expansion of its precision production facility in Savannah, adding 14,2,000 square feet to its capacity.
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has declared the completion of its most recent strategic expansion: the precision production facility for the Gulfstream G400, G500, and G600, located in Savannah. The addition adds 14,2,000 square feet/13,192 square metres, to the facility’s capacity.
The research and development team of Gulfstream, located in Savannah, collaborated to establish the production procedures for the G400, G500, and G600. These methods involve sophisticated automation, 3D model designs, robotics, and bonding techniques that yield unparalleled quality and accuracy.
Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream said, “Gulfstream continues to invest across all our facilities, including in Savannah, our headquarters for more than 50 years. We designed the G400, G500 and G600 to have a number of commonalities that increase both operational and manufacturing efficiencies. Those commonalities mean that we have the flexibility to easily expand production lines to meet the growing demand for these aircraft, which also increases job growth across the region.The technological advancements in our state-of-art manufacturing facilities help us deliver the highest quality product in the industry, built by the industry’s most talented workforce.”
The expansion of the Customer Support service centre and the fabrication of wings and empennage in Savannah are also part of Gulfstream’s broader strategic plan, which also includes this increase in manufacturing. With these most recent investments, which come to a total of $150 million, 1,600 new employment should be created in the area.
