The new plant, located in Business Depot Ogden, provides opportunities for the division’s continued expansion and meets growing customer demands for the new generation of fuel-efficient transportation, such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, according to the company.
“Barnes Aerospace’s Ogden Division is a pioneer in superplastic forming (SPF) technology,” said Brent Wiberg, vice president and general manager of manufacturing for the company. “We have continued to build on this reputation during the past few years with significant investment in new equipment. This new equipment, paired with customer demand, has made it necessary for us to expand our operations in Ogden, where we have done business for the last two decades.”
The Ogden division has seen its annual revenue triple during the past 10 years, and the company credits Utah’s pro-business environment and dedicated work force for much of its success.
“We empower our employees to leverage their creativity, talent and commitment to excellence, to perform at their best and improve our customers’ performance,” said Gregory F. Milzcik, president and CEO of Barnes Group. “Utah has provided us a conducive backdrop to execute on this mission, offering a robust pool of talented employees and a healthy business climate. Active communities that deliver the right work and life balance are a hallmark of employee retention, and we look forward to continuing to build on our success in the state.”
