Aerospace Giant Expands Capacity for Defence and Commercial Aviation
Honeywell Aerospace plans to significantly expand its Arizona manufacturing capacity for commercial aviation and defence programmes with a $500 million investment in a new 300,000-square-foot facility in Tempe. The site will support production of next-generation products and priority defence technologies, with production scheduled to begin in late 2028. The investment reflects growing pressure on aerospace and defence manufacturers to increase production while making supply chains more resilient, as reported by Honeywell Aerospace.
