Aerospace manufacturer Beehive Industries plans to expand its operations in greater Cincinnati, Ohio. The $70 million project is expected to create more than 200 jobs.

The investment across the company’s multiple facilities will increase production of the company's 3D-printed jet engines for uncrewed aerial defense applications.

"We are deeply grateful to Governor Mike DeWine, JobsOhio, and REDI Cincinnati for their exceptional collaboration and confidence in Beehive Industries," said Darius Ehteshami, Chief Operations and Finance Officer of Beehive Industries. "Their proactive economic tools and regional talent prove that when visionary state leadership aligns with modern defense manufacturing, it creates a model that other states, from the Midwest to the Mountain West, would be wise to emulate."

To support the project the company will pursue a Job Creation Tax Credit from the Ohio Department of Development. JobsOhio also plans to provide assistance for the project, which will be made public after a final agreement is executed.

“Beehive is doing exactly the kind of advanced, mission-critical manufacturing that defines Ohio's aerospace and defense advantage, and doing it at the speed the customer requires,” noted JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “In Ohio, companies can dream it, build it, test it and scale it, and this expansion is proof that the nation's number one state for business is where America accelerates defense production.”

Beehive Industries designs and produces additively manufactured jet engines, propulsion systems, and precision components for defense and commercial aerospace applications.

"Beehive Industries' continued investment across multiple communities in Southwest Ohio speaks to our region’s robust aerospace expertise, world-class talent and strong network of industry partners,” added Kimm Lauterbach, President and CEO of REDI Cincinnati. “Combined with our more than $6 billion aerospace industry, this expansion further accelerates the Cincinnati region as the leading destination for next-generation aerospace manufacturing and innovation.”
