Gulfstream Invests $20M in MA Facility

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation will invest approximately $20 million at its Westfield, Massachusetts manufacturing facility, constructing a 100,000ft² addition adjacent to its 80,000ft² service center at the Barnes Regional Airport, creating 100 jobs.

“In the second quarter, we had the largest number of orders for new aircraft since the economic downturn began,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “At the same time, flying hours have increased, resulting in record-setting service demand. This expansion is part of our long-range plan to ensure our service network remains well-positioned to serve our customers and our growing installed fleet, especially in the heavily traveled Northeast corridor.”

“Massachusetts is leading the nation in economic recovery, thanks to companies like Gulfstream that are expanding right here in the Commonwealth,” said Gov. Deval Patrick. “Because of our investments in innovation, education and infrastructure, Massachusetts is a great place for business, and I thank Gulfstream for adding these 100 new jobs and the economic benefits that will follow.”
