Gulfstream Aerospace will close its Long Beach, California maintenance and modification location as part of what it calls "facility optimization." Under the airframer’s plan, the Long Beach facility will be closed in phases, with maintenance work moving to Gulfstream’s Van Nuys service center and completions to its centers in Appleton, Wisconsin, and Savannah, Georgia. Plans call for all three of those facilities to have long-term workforce expansions.

Noting the recent construction of Van Nuys and expansion at Appleton and Savannah, Gulfstream said the Long Beach closure was the next step in its long-range facility modernization investments plan.
