**Aerospace and Defense Supplier Hadrian Opens $200M Factory in Mesa**
Hadrian, a key supplier in the aerospace and defense sectors, has officially opened a new $200 million manufacturing facility at The Cubes at Mesa Gateway in Mesa, Arizona. According to the Phoenix Business Journal, production is already underway at the 290,000-square-foot plant, which produces precision components for missiles, jets, rockets, and other munitions.
The company stated that it supports aerospace and defense firms by delivering critical parts for rockets, satellites, aircraft, and naval vessels—designed for rapid production and at reduced costs.
As part of an agreement with the Town of Mesa, the factory must create 350 new jobs within five years, with each role offering a minimum average salary of $71,000, in order to qualify for pre-approved job incentives.
In addition, Hadrian may be eligible for up to $6.44 million in performance-based, refundable tax credits from the Arizona Commerce Authority, contingent upon meeting specific job creation and project financing benchmarks.
This expansion follows Hadrian’s successful capital raise of $260 million last year, aimed at scaling operations in both California and Arizona.
