e2v aerospace and defense announces United States expansion plans
e2v aerospace and defense, inc. (e2v A&D) today announced a planned expansion into new facilities to accommodate growth and add extensive new capabilities in the United States. The move will enable e2v A&D to offer increased support to all e2v global lines, including RF power, microwave, imaging, and hi-rel semiconductors for all aerospace and defense applications throughout North America and Canada.
By providing US presence for all e2v products and services, e2v A&D can support the needs of US military and aerospace primes and sub-contractors. Currently, e2v A&D offers and supports products and services from various e2v domestic and global facilities, and handles all export/customs issues associated with shipment and delivery. Additionally, as a separate US manufacturer with all necessary US Government operating approvals in place, e2v A&D complies with all US domestic laws and regulations and can fully participate with US aerospace and defense companies without the restrictions placed on foreign entities.
“Our plans for growth at e2v aerospace and defense necessitate us to significantly increase the physical footprint of our facility here in California”, said Bob Tavares, President, e2v aerospace and defense. “The decision to purchase this new facility exemplifies our long-term commitment to the U.S. mil/aero marketplace. The move to the new location will allow us to extensively expand our U.S. operations as we increase our product and service offerings for the aerospace and defense industry.”
The new facility is located at 765 Sycamore Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035. It is expected that the move will be completed in early to mid-2012.
