The announcement marks a $1.42 million corporate investment and creates approximately 70 jobs over the next two years. The company’s Madison facility currently employs more than 340 workers with an additional 856 working throughout the state.
“We are very pleased to name Madison, Mississippi as the new corporate headquarters of our global aerospace company,” said Vertex Aerospace President & CEO Ed Boyington. “Our company was originally founded here in Mississippi in 1975, and our desire is to continue to support our state’s economy providing highly skilled technical and professional jobs to keep our talent in Mississippi.”
