Parker Hannifin Moves Additional Repair Operations to Utah (2018)

Parker Hannifin Corporation will relocate more operations to Utah, adding up to 77 jobs, $6.7 million in new state revenue and $2.8 million in capital investment. Parker Hannifin currently has an engineered polymer systems facility in Utah, as well as an engineering and manufacturing operation supporting its Control Systems Division in Ogden. The division is the world leader in the design and manufacture of flight control actuation equipment.

Northrop Grumman Acquires Orbital ATK (2018)

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission cleared Northrop Grumman’s $7.8 billion purchase of defense and space contractor Orbital ATK. Orbital ATK will become Northrop Grumman’s fourth business sector, named Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. As a condition for the approval of the merger, the company will have to supply solid rocket motors “on a non-discriminatory basis under specified circumstances,” the FTC ruled. Ensuring competition in the solid rocket motors industry is a key issue for the Defense Department because only two manufacturers remain in the business, Orbital ATK and Aerojet Rocketdyne.

Duncan Aviation Expansion Moves one Step Closer (2016)

Duncan Aviation’s proposed expansion will add up to 700 jobs and include more than $50 million in capital investment. “Six years ago, 14 Duncan Aviation team members ventured west to start Duncan Aviation’s newest heavy maintenance location,” said Bill Prochazka, COO of Duncan Aviation’s Provo location. “We were met with enthusiasm and professionalism from every direction through our discussions with the state, Utah County and Provo City.”

“The first entirely Utah-made 787-9 horizontal stabilizer, or tail of the airplane, was shipped Friday [September 25] as a crowd of more than 700 cheered from Boeing Salt Lake’s warehouse at Salt Lake City International Airport.”

Orbital ATK Signs $98 Million Agreement to Produce Orion Launch Abort Motor (2015)

Orbital ATK announced that it has signed a $98 million agreement with Lockheed Martin to provide the launch abort motor for the Orion human spaceflight capsule’s Launch Abort System. The Orion spacecraft will launch aboard NASA’s Space Launch System, enabling humans to explore new deep space destinations. The launch abort motor is manufactured at Orbital ATK facilities in Magna, Promontory, and Clearfield, Utah.

Albany Aerostructures Composites Receives Contract with Airbus (2014)

“In July, Albany Aerostructures Composites, located west of the Salt Lake International Airport, announced a multimillion dollar contract with aircraft giant Airbus to supply composite floor beam struts for the A380 aircraft.  With its double-deck and wide-body design, the A380 is the world’s largest passenger airliner and offers multiple cabin design configurations with seating of 525 passengers and a range of up to 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 kilometers).”
