Aspetto, Inc., a manufacturer of tactical gear and provider of cybersecurity and IT services for defense agencies, plans to expand its operations in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The project is expected to create 98 jobs.

The company will relocate its headquarters to 150 Riverside Parkway with the lease of a 5,300-square-foot office space and adjacent 3,000-square-foot manufacturing warehouse.

“Aspetto’s expansion into Stafford County marks an exciting new chapter for our company,” said Aspetto President and CEO Abbas Haider. "We are grateful for the unwavering support from Governor Youngkin’s office and our partners in Virginia, whose commitment to business growth helped make this possible. This move strengthens our foundation, fuels our mission, and positions us to drive even greater innovation in the defense industry.”

Funding and services to support the company's employee recruitment and training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.

“After 16 years of growth in the Fredericksburg region, Aspetto's expansion showcases how Virginia-based companies can successfully adapt and thrive in our dynamic economy," noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. "The company's unique combination of tactical gear manufacturing and cybersecurity services represents the innovative spirit driving Virginia's defense industry forward.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership VEDP) worked with Stafford County and the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance to secure the project.

"We are happy to keep a very successful home grown business in the region and we are excited to see their future success,” added Fredericksburg Regional Alliance President Curry Roberts.

Aspetto offers technologies that deliver strategic enterprise life-cycle support for the acquisition, design, deployment, and sustainment of Federal and DoD technology and life protection components.
