Seemann Composites Opens New Production Facility in Gulfport, Mississippi
08/30/2018
Located in the Bayou Bernard Industrial Park, Seemann Composites constructed a 25,600-square-foot building to produce bow domes for the Navy’s Columbia Class Ballistic Missile Submarine, which will replace the Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Subs. The expansion was announced in July 2016. Completion of Seemann Composites’ expansion increases the company’s employment in Gulfport to approximately 160 workers.
“We would like to thank Governor Bryant, the Mississippi Development Authority and the Harrison County Development Commission for their support in helping us meet this critical need for the U.S, Navy Submarine Program,” said Seemann Composites CEO Bill Seemann.
“Thousands of workers on the Mississippi Gulf Coast are engaged in the production of some of the most sophisticated, high-tech products employed within the maritime and defense industries,” Governor Phil Bryant said. “Dozens more individuals on the Coast are now producing bow domes for U.S. Navy submarines, strengthening our nation’s defense and Mississippi’s position as a frontrunner in the industry.”
Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance for site preparation and infrastructure needs. “The opening of Seemann Composites’ bow dome facility creates exciting career opportunities for Mississippians in support of our men and women in uniform who protect and defend freedom,” said MDA Executive Director Glenn McCullough, Jr. “We congratulate the Seemann Composites team on this significant milestone as well as our partners at the Harrison County Development Commission and Harrison County who helped bring this economic development win to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.”
