East Aurora, NY – Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems has reached a significant milestone in its comprehensive building expansion project. The company has completed its new electromechanical actuation facility to enhance its manufacturing capabilities for space and defense customers that need precision steering in the most demanding domains. This customer-focused expansion at Moog headquarters in East Aurora addresses the growing need for innovative precision actuation and avionics systems to control and steer launchers, making a difference for critical national security missions and delivering satellites and human crews to space.
This construction project builds on Moog’s 70-year legacy of equipping those who defend freedom and explore the universe with aerospace actuation and avionics solutions that offer precision steering for launchers. It is a strategic investment in the future to advance Moog’s thrust vector control and fin steering manufacturing capabilities and processes, making a difference for several priority development and production launch vehicles for which the company has a growing order book. These programs include several launch vehicles for the U.S. Navy, Stratolaunch’s Talon A hypersonic test vehicle, United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket, and NASA’s Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft.
The new facility brings together development, production, and testing of electromechanical, electrohydrostatic, and electrohydraulic actuation systems for the space market in one location. The integrated building and layout design is a unique differentiator, matched by few in the industry, to offer an enhanced customer focus, reducing hand-offs throughout the manufacturing lifecycle, improving both quality and lead times.
The recently completed construction included areas for electromechanical actuation (EMA) assembly and test work, thermal and vibration environmental testing, and enhanced inspection and office spaces. With verification and testing of production builds currently in progress, the facility is on track to manufacture EMA flight hardware this fall. Additionally, construction is now underway on the new hydraulic actuation assembly and test area and a state-of-the-art development lab.
“This focused factory reflects a major investment in a sustainable future at Moog, expanding our ability to deliver innovative, mission-critical solutions for aerospace and defense customers,” said Jonathan Kasper, Operations Transformation Manager.
“This new facility opens exciting opportunities,” said Nicole Wodka-Cook, Space Actuation and Avionics General Manager. “With increased capacity and enhanced research and development capabilities, Moog is well-positioned to meet evolving customer needs and deliver the high-quality products they expect and is another example of how Moog shapes the way our world moves.”
Once complete, the 120,000-square-foot facility will be the largest Moog site dedicated to its diverse space portfolio, which includes components and systems for launchers, missiles, satellites, and human habitats. Moog technology launches into space weekly and has enabled missions to every planet in our solar system. For more information, visit www.moog.com/space.
