On September 19, Akima celebrated the opening of its new 35,000-square-foot Huntsville office with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The expansion underscores Akima’s long-term commitment to the Rocket City’s thriving defense, aerospace, and technology sectors.
Attendees included Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, Madison County Commission Chairman Mac McCutcheon, U.S. Army service members, leaders from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, representatives from the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce, industry partners, and Akima employees.
The new facility strengthens Akima’s ability to deliver mission-essential solutions while creating new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. The company is also contributing to the region’s economic vitality by creating high-quality jobs in Huntsville, expanding its local workforce in aerospace, IT, engineering, logistics, and mission support.
Akima already supports some of Huntsville’s most critical federal missions. At Redstone Arsenal, the company provides a range of facility support expertise, including engineering and environmental services and facility and equipment maintenance for tenants that include the U.S. Army Materiel Command, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, Space and Missile Defense Command, numerous Program Executive Offices, as well as components of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Missile Defense Agency. Additionally, the company provides specialized technology expertise, along with training and field support for analytical software, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“Huntsville has long been at the heart of America’s defense and space industries, and Akima is proud to expand here in a way that supports both our customers and the community,” said Bill Monet, president and CEO of Akima. “This investment strengthens our ability to deliver for our federal partners, creates new opportunities for talented professionals in the region, and reflects our long-term commitment to the Rocket City.”
