Honeywell Aerospace announces $500 M new manufacturing plant in Tempe, Arizona

Honeywell Aerospace said it will build a new 300,000‑square‑foot manufacturing facility in Tempe, Arizona, at a cost of $500 million. The plant is slated to open in late 2028 and will create about 600 permanent jobs while supporting more than 1,000 construction jobs. It will add internal complex‑machining capability and a digital production system to serve both commercial aviation and defense programs. The company said the investment is intended to unlock long‑term growth for shareholders and bolster supply‑chain resilience.

The $500 million capex and added capacity are expected to support $15 billion of new program wins, which could lift future revenue streams (company statement,). The job creation and supply‑chain integration may improve the firm’s competitive position in aerospace and defense markets (company statement,).
