Aerojet, a GenCorp company, announced the expansion of its Huntsville, AL offices to provide its local customers with additional engineering expertise, business development and program management support.
A community leadership breakfast and ribbon cutting ceremony was held today to mark this event with several dignitaries and local leaders in attendance, including: Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle; County Commission Chairman Mike Gillespie; Madison Mayor Paul Finley and former Congressman Bud Cramer.
"This growth in Huntsville advances our local partnerships and enables us to better integrate with our team members," says Director of Huntsville Operations, Claude Baldwin. "We'll be able to not only better serve our DoD and NASA customers, but also the area's prime contractors, supply partners, universities and other community development programs."
Aerojet's work in Huntsville focuses on delivering expertise in solid and liquid propulsion, human spaceflight, specialty metals and warheads. The company's strategic partnership with Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. serves as a catalyst for local cooperation on the development and manufacturing of liquid rocket engines for a variety of programs, including NASA's competition for technologies to support its Space Launch System announced last week.
