August 26, 2010 | Staff Writer | Print Article | Email this Article
The Boeing Company on Aug. 26 announced that it will expand its St. Louis-area operations with the planned opening of a new manufacturing facility at MidAmerica Airport in Mascoutah, Ill.
The facility, tentatively scheduled to open in late 2010 or early 2011, will use leased space in an existing building to house assembly and sub-assembly work. It is expected to initially bring about 75 new manufacturing jobs to Illinois.
Boeing Defense, Space & Security president and chief executive officer Dennis Muilenburg addressed U.S., state and local officials, Boeing employees and the media at an Aug. 26 ceremony in Mascoutah.
“This facility’s proximity to BDS headquarters, the presence of an established, skilled work force and the infrastructure at MidAmerica Airport make it an ideal choice as Boeing looks for opportunities to expand our core business and ensure our St. Louis site remains competitive as we meet the high-value, low-cost needs of our customers,” said Muilenburg.
