Aerospace manufacturer Park Aerospace Corp. plans to establish operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The approximately $65 million project is expected to create more than 100 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new advanced composite materials manufacturing facility located on 18 acres at the Tulsa International Airport. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2028.

“Thank you, Oklahoma, thank you, Tulsa, and thank you, Tulsa International Airport, for welcoming Park Aerospace to your state, your community and your wonderful airport. And thank you for offering us such a special site at the Tulsa International Airport. It will be a privilege to join the wonderful Tulsa community. Park has come a very long way since we started in 1954 with almost nothing in that little garage in Woodside, Queens, but, to us, our new home at the Tulsa International Airport represents an exciting new beginning for our Company,” said Brian Shore, Chairman and CEO of Park Aerospace Corp.

Park Aerospace develops and manufactures advanced composite materials and engineered composite structures for aerospace and defense industries. The company’s portfolio includes specialty adhesives, lightning strike protection materials, composite components, and tooling used in commercial and military aircraft, jet engines, unmanned aerial vehicles, rocket motors, and spacecraft.

“This investment is another powerful example of Oklahoma’s aerospace industry continuing to grow and compete on a global stage,” noted Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt. “Park Aerospace’s decision to expand in Tulsa reflects the strength of our workforce, our pro-business environment and the momentum we’re building as a destination for advanced aerospace manufacturing.”

“Companies don’t choose a location simply because land is available,” added Alexis Higgins, A.A.E., CEO of Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust. “They choose places where they can find talent, infrastructure and partners who are invested in their success. That’s exactly what we’ve built at Tulsa International Airport. Our entire team welcomes Park Aerospace to Tulsa and looks forward to championing Park’s success as it joins one of the nation’s most established and fastest-growing aerospace ecosystems.”
