On September 9, BAE Systems officially opened a 247,000-square-foot engineering and product development facility in Maple Grove, Minnesota. The new site serves as a critical innovation hub focused on engineering and product development for the U.S. military and its allies.
BAE Systems’ Minnesota facility features engineering labs to support the development and integration of new capabilities to drive future advancements. The site will allow the business to continue leading the design of naval guns, launching systems, advanced munitions, submarine components, and combat vehicles.
“Our new facility in Minneapolis demonstrates BAE Systems’ commitment to strengthening our engineering workforce and developing products that protect men and women in uniform,” said Jamie Hoyt, senior director of engineering at BAE Systems. “This state-of-the-art engineering facility will serve as a center for collaboration and innovation and empowers our workforce to develop products that protect our servicemembers and contribute to our national defense.”
BAE Systems’ operations in Minnesota date back to the 1940s, when its Fridley facility produced naval guns for the U.S. Navy during World War II. After more than 80 years, the new facility continues the company’s legacy of service and commitment to the nation, as well as the state’s talented and dedicated workforce.
