Woodward to build 300K SF factory in South Carolina

FORT COLLINS — Woodward Inc. (Nasdaq: WWD), a Fort Collins company that designs, manufactures and services energy-conversion and control solutions for the aerospace and industrial equipment markets, is building a roughly 300,000-square-foot, $200 million factory in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. 

The factory, located in a town called Greer, “will focus on production of servo-hydraulic actuation systems, which are critical components used in aircraft flight control,” Woodward said in a news release. “Initially, most of the factory’s capacity will be dedicated to producing spoiler actuation for the Airbus A350. These critical control systems are mounted on the upper surface of aircraft wings and play a vital role in managing lift and enhancing flight performance and safety. The site has potential to expand capacity as the company meets growing demand for its aerospace technologies.”

The plant, which is expected to create about 275 jobs, is slated to come online in 2027.
