Honeywell Aerospace To Build New State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facility in Tempe to Support Growing Commercial and Defense Demand

Published: 10/28/2026

New Honeywell Aerospace facility will create approximately 600 jobs and support current and next-generation aviation technologies and high-priority defense programs

TEMPE, Ariz. (Oct. 28, 2026) — Honeywell Aerospace (NASDAQ: HONA) today announced a major expansion of its manufacturing facilities, strengthening the company’s ability to meet growing demand across current and next-generation commercial aviation and defense programs.

The new $500 million, 300,000-square-foot Tempe, Arizona facility will include an integrated digital production system, modular robotics, automated inspection, digital twins, and be powered by an end-to-end digital thread. The facility will support the largest commercial and defense customers in aerospace and defense.

“Demand for technology from Honeywell Aerospace continues to accelerate across both commercial and defense markets, and this major investment ensures we can continue delivering for our customers while unlocking long-term growth for our shareholders,” said Jim Currier, president and chief executive officer of Honeywell Aerospace. “This is an example of how our recent spin into an independent, publicly-traded Honeywell Aerospace allows us to make decisions and investments that support our growth and the future of aviation and defense.”

The new facility, near the company’s global headquarters, will create supply chain resilience by adding internal complex machining capability – a key area of the supply base that is currently constrained – while establishing a more vertically integrated production system for the next generation of products including Assure advanced actuation systems and Attune vapor cycle cooling subsystems.

Opening in late 2028, the advanced manufacturing facility will support customers’ growth on current programs, $15 billion in Control Systems new program wins, and the future of aviation. The expansion will also provide capacity growth to support priority production of critical defense technologies included in the supplier framework agreement the company signed with the Department of War in March.

Over time the facility will create approximately 600 jobs, increasing the company’s engineering depth and its skilled workforce. In addition, construction of the facility will support more than 1,000 local jobs.

“Arizona has been at the heart of our innovation and manufacturing operations for decades,” Currier continued. “Expanding on our existing Tempe campus with this state-of-the-art new facility reinforces our commitment to this great state, our employees and the Arizona workforce, as well as the customers around the world who depend on our technology every day.”

“Honeywell Aerospace is building upon the legacy of aviation in Greater Phoenix with this massive new investment in Tempe,” said Greater Phoenix Economic Council President & CEO Christine Mackay. “The company has been integral in the development of modern-day flight and defense. With its advanced technological capabilities, Honeywell Aerospace is positioned to continue serving as a leader for the future of the industry.”
