Airplane maker Cessna Aircraft Co. will spend up to $24 million to build a new 100,000-square-foot facility on a 40-acre site at the Muscogee Technology Park in Columbus, Ga.
The facility will be finished by late summer 2008, and Wichita, Kan.-based Cessna expects to add up to 150 jobs in Columbus over the next five years. Once the new plant is fully operational, Cessna will have more than 750 employees in Columbus.
Cessna will make aircraft sub-assemblies and house a metal bonding shop in the new plant.
"When we came to Columbus in 1996, there were about 70 employees here, and now there are almost 600," said Ron Alberti, Cessna senior vice president of supply chain. "The strength of the workforce and the business climate in Muscogee County provides a terrific environment in which to grow our business, and we expect strong job growth as our business grows."
Based on unit sales, Cessna is the world's largest manufacturer of general aviation airplanes. In 2006, Cessna delivered 1,239 aircraft and reported revenues of about $4.2 billion and a backlog of $8.5 billion.
