Hadrian Establishes Mesa, Arizona, Manufacturing Operations

02/02/2026
AI-powered manufacturing company Hadrian has established operations in Mesa, Arizona. The $200 million project is expected to create more than 350 jobs.

The company’s new 290,000-square-foot manufacturing and software facility will produce precision components and mission-critical systems for aerospace and defense.

"Our investment in Arizona was made possible through collaboration with state and local officials who share Hadrian's commitment to make manufacturing meaningful work again and to rebuild U.S. industrial capacity," said Chris Power, Founder and CEO of Hadrian. "Factory 3 is not just a facility, it's a platform for AI-enhanced production that strengthens America's industrial base and brings high-quality jobs to Mesa and the broader region."

Hadrian is an advanced manufacturing company that designs and operates highly automated, software-driven factories to produce precision-machined components and systems primarily for the aerospace, defense, and space sectors.

"Hadrian's new facility represents an exciting addition to Arizona's thriving aerospace and defense sector," noted Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA). "We're grateful for Hadrian's strong commitment to our state. Arizona is proud to lead the way in building the future of manufacturing."

"Greater Phoenix has been a historical stronghold for aerospace and defense; it makes perfect sense that with Hadrian's investment, the region is situated to be the future of the industry, too," added Greater Phoenix Economic Council President & CEO Christine Mackay. "The manufacturing and automation capabilities of Hadrian set a standard for the national industry to follow."
