Northrop expanding Iuka facility

Aerospace and defense giant Northrop Grumman Corp. is expanding its Iuka, Miss., production facility and investing $8.3M for infrastructure and a new warehouse that will create 40 jobs immediately. Northrop Grumman has more than 200 employees at its 320,000-square-foot Iuka facility that produces large composite aerospace structures for its Antares, Pegasus and Minotaur launch vehicles and United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V and Delta IV launch vehicles. Among other work, the company recently started production of composite structures for its new OmegA mid-to-large launch vehicle. The Mississippi Development Authority is providing a $600,000 grant for infrastructure improvements and the construction of a warehouse.
