Orizon Aerostructures

Orizon Aerostructures plans to open an additional 120,000 square-foot building in Chanute, Kansas later in 2020, expanding its existing 225,000 square-foot facility. The company has invested $65 million and grown employment from 150 to 307.

Orizon Aerostructures has installed a flexible manufacturing system based on nine Starrag five-axis Ecospeed machining centres at its new plant in Grove, Oklahoma, as part of a total investment of over $50 million. The FMS is the largest integrated system of its type in the western hemisphere.

Orizon Aerostructures broke ground on a 120,000 square foot expansion at its Chanute, Kansas campus on September 24, 2019. The addition will be used for assembling a section of the Boeing 737 fuselage for Spirit AeroSystems, and will increase employment from 320 to 420-470.

Orizon Aerostructures will invest $45 million to expand its Grove, Oklahoma plant by 80,000 square feet and add 60 new jobs. The expansion includes installation of six Ecospeed machines for F-35 parts.
