The company said it anticipates filling at least 40 additional positions across engineering, machining, and quality functions at its new headquarters in Huntersville.
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C.—In June, JGA Space & Defense reported that it successfully completed its state-of-the-art, advanced manufacturing facility at its new headquarters in Huntersville, activating approximately 60,000 square feet of modern manufacturing space.
JGA Space & Defense manufactures advanced solid rocket motor (SRM) insulators and nozzle assemblies, including precision machined components for aerospace, space, and defense applications.
The company stated in a release that its activation of the facility represents an important part of its strategic mission to support the U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) by significantly expanding solid rocket motor component capacity and enhancing its production capabilities to better serve its clients in the defense, space exploration, and aerospace sectors.
JGA Space & Defense said it is scaling production while maintaining industry-leading quality and lead times. At the same time, it is working to deepen its partnerships with existing and new customers and continuing to invest in innovation and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
“This is a defining moment for JGA Space & Defense,” said Jonathan Saltzman, managing partner of Torque Capital Group, in the release. Torque Capital Group is a middle-market private equity firm that acquired Joe Gibbs Manufacturing Solutions in December and rebranded the company as JGA Space & Defense. “The successful launch of operations in our new facility represents not only the culmination of tireless efforts by our incredible team, but also the beginning of our next phase of ambitious growth. We are now better positioned than ever to scale the delivery of high-performance, mission-critical solutions to our all-star roster of customers in the space and defense sectors.”
Due to significant and rapidly growing demand, JGA said it maintains the option to more than double its existing footprint and capacity to manufacture mission-critical components, including solid rocket motor insulators, nozzle assemblies, and precision-machined aerospace and defense parts. The company added that it “leverages decades of SRM and aerospace engineering expertise to serve demanding, mission-critical end markets.”
JGA Space & Defense also reported that it added key resources to complement its highly experienced team and facilitate its growth. It anticipates filling at least 40 additional positions across engineering, machining, and quality functions, the company said.
