750 Engineers To Work At Larger Center
Gulfstream Aerospace is
preparing to significantly increase its research and development
department by leasing a new 100,000 sq. ft. building at its
Savannah, GA manufacturing facility. Gulfstream expects to bring as
many as 750 engineers from other buildings under one roof in the
new facility by March of 2006.
"For the past decade, Gulfstream has led the business aviation
industry in technological advancements that enhance passenger
safety and aircraft reliability and performance," said Gulfstream
president Bryan Moss. "With our continued R&D efforts on
advanced avionics, advanced cabin technologies, synthetic vision
and sonic boom suppression, we expect this expansion will allow us
to maintain our market leadership in this industry."
The manufacturer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Dynamics,
leased the new building for five years, according to a company
press release.
"Since we first opened our doors in Savannah 38 year ago, our
business has grown significantly. In fact, we’ve added four
other manufacturing sites and eleven service center sites located
throughout the United States as well as a service center in
England," said Moss.
"Now it’s time to expand our research and development
organization. Both the Georgia Department of Economic Development
(GDED) and the Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA) were
instrumental in our selection of Savannah as the site for this
expansion," he said.
Gulfstream employs approximately 7,000 people, of which rougly
5,200 work at the company’s Savannah facility.
