JGA Space and Defense Expands Huntersville, North Carolina, Operations

12/05/2025
Aerospace parts manufacturer JGA Space and Defense plans to expand its operations in Huntersville, North Carolina. The more than $25 million project is expected to create 40 jobs in Mecklenburg County.

The investment includes the acquisition of 60,000 square feet of manufacturing space.

“We’re proud to break ground on our new state-of-the-art facility in Mecklenburg County because this is where our business began and where we want its promising future to continue to grow,” JGA Co-investor and Strategic Advisor Terry Culmone told North Charlotte Today. “We are excited about the talent, infrastructure, and pro-business environment in Mecklenburg County, and today’s investment is our vote of confidence in the community that has supported JGA to date. We look forward to enhancing Mecklenburg’s manufacturing base and importantly supporting the region’s strong military presence, given the defense and space nature of our work.”

JGA Space and Defense, previously known as Joe Gibbs Manufacturing Solutions, manufactures advanced solid rocket motor insulators and nozzle assemblies, producing precision machined parts for aerospace, space, and defense sectors.
