GA-EMS' Iuka plant expanding

General Atomics-Electromagnetic Systems is expanding its facility in Iuka, Miss., to accommodate future work. The $3.9M corporate investment is expected to create 50 jobs. GA-EMS applies research, science and technology innovation to develop and deliver multi-mission systems and products, such as aircraft launch and recovery systems, to help defend national interests and critical commercial enterprises. The expansion furthers GA-EMS's goal of “creating a world-class Manufacturing Center of Excellence here in Mississippi … to manufacture a broad range of critical products to meet growing customer demand,” said GA-EMS President Scott Forney. The Iuka expansion marks GA-EMS's 13th expansion in Mississippi over the past 16 years. The project is designed to complete building renovations for a world-class structural fabrication space for a welding and fabrication workforce. In September 2020, GA-EMS announced a $39.5M investment.
