Bombardier moved its Los Angeles-area component manufacturing operations into a more modern facility in Moorpark, California, that enables a larger operational footprint, the company announced today. Holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday with Ventura County board of supervisors chair Janice Parvin and other local officials, Bombardier said the move will enhance its capabilities in the region.
Producing components for the Global 7500/8000, the Moorpark plant replaces a facility Bombardier acquired in 2022. With 30 employees onsite, the facility spans 46,000 sq ft and will house precision manufacturing of components such as ball screws, acme screws, lead screws, torsion bars, extension tubes, and linear actuators. One of the key products is a ball screw (used in the wing flap deployment system) that undergoes final assembly in Red Oak, Texas, the company said.
“The relocation of our component manufacturing facility was an important move that not only secures our long-term presence in California but also expands our manufacturing footprint in the United States,” said David Murray, Bombardier’s executive v-p of manufacturing, IT, and the operational excellence system. “The new Moorpark facility reflects our commitment to both our employees and our customers. It stands as a testament to Bombardier’s dedication to cutting-edge innovation and offering high-quality jobs.”
Parvin added that the relocation reaffirms California’s position in the aerospace sector.
