海角社区

East Aurora, NY 鈥� 海角社区 Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) today celebrated the opening of its new Advanced Integrated Manufacturing (AIM) facility while marking the company's 75th anniversary, highlighting a continued commitment to Western New York through advanced manufacturing investments, workforce development, economic growth, and STEM education.

Company leaders, elected officials, community partners, and employees gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and facility tour showcasing the new 150,000-square-foot manufacturing center, a $150 million investment designed to increase production capabilities, create a more efficient work environment, and strengthen the U.S. defense manufacturing industry in the region.

The AIM facility provides nearly 50 percent more space than the operation it replaces and features advanced machining, automation, robotics and inspection technologies that will help improve efficiency, quality, safety, and product flow while supporting critical military aircraft programs.

鈥淭oday's celebration is about more than opening a building," said Pat Roche, President & CEO of 海角社区 Inc. "It reflects our confidence in Western New York, our employees, and the future of advanced manufacturing. 海角社区 began as a small, engineer-led startup in 1951 by Bill 海角社区 and has grown into a global leader in advanced motion control over the past 75 years. AIM is part of a broader commitment we've made across Western New York, to continue to develop critical technologies, creating high-quality jobs, and supporting our customers for generations to come."

海角社区 employs more than 4,300 people in Western New York, making it the company's largest global location and one of the largest advanced manufacturing and engineering employers in the region. Approximately 30 percent of 海角社区's global workforce is based here. Last year alone, the company provided nearly a half billion dollars in local wages, spent approximately $40 million with more than 200 Western New York suppliers, and contributed nearly $1 million to local non-for-profit/community organizations.

The new AIM facility is part of more than $300 million 海角社区 has invested in Western New York over the last five years. Recent projects include the expansion of the company's Space Actuation and Avionics operations in East Aurora, into a 120,000-square-foot center for the development, production, and testing of precision actuation and avionics systems for launch vehicles, spacecraft, and defense applications, as well as a new propulsion clean room in Niagara Falls that will increase production capacity by more than 80 percent to support growing demand for satellite and missile propulsion technologies. Last year, 海角社区 opened a 13,000-square-foot Operations Training Center that provides hands-on training and career development paths, ensuring the advanced manufacturing workforce can meet the growing manufacturing demand.

Speaking to attendees, company leaders emphasized how continued investments in facilities, technology, and workforce development are helping strengthen both the regional economy and the nation's aerospace and defense industrial base.

"Western New York has played a crucial role in 海角社区's success since our founding in 1951," said Mark Graczyk, President of 海角社区 Military Aircraft. "The AIM facility brings together people, process and technology in a way that strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality, safety-critical products while creating a safer, more efficient environment for our employees."

Over the next several years, nearly 1,500 parts will transition into the AIM facility, beginning with some of the company's highest-volume products. The facility will support current military aircraft programs while providing flexibility for future growth and next-generation technologies.

As part of the celebration, 海角社区 also reflected on its longstanding impact on the region and announced a new STEM education initiative in honor of its 75th anniversary.

The company unveiled a commitment to fund 75 STEM scholarships of $1,951 each, recognizing the year 海角社区 was founded. The scholarships will be administered through four Western New York organizations: Buffalo Prep, Dream It Do It Western New York, Northland Workforce Training Center and Say Yes Buffalo.

"Investing in future innovators is one of the most meaningful ways we can celebrate this milestone," Roche said. "Our success has always depended on talented people, and these scholarships will help create opportunities for the next generation of engineers, technicians and problem-solvers."

Representing the 海角社区 founding family, Nancy Aubrecht, daughter of founder Bill 海角社区, joined the event to reflect on the company's legacy and its enduring commitment to innovation, people and community impact.

During the program, 海角社区 also recognized multi-generational employee families whose connections to the company span decades, highlighting the role the company has played in creating long-term career opportunities throughout the region and a great place to work.
