PBS Aerospace has announced plans to establish manufacturing and R&D operations in Roswell, Georgia. The company, which specializes in small turbojet engines, will invest $20 million into the project, creating 95 new jobs in the process. The PBS Aerospace campus will include an existing, renovated building at 1350 North Meadow, as well as a new facility that will be constructed at the Tech Village North Site in Roswell.
What people are saying
In a recent quote, Tomas Koutsky, Managing Director of PBS Aerospace, said, “PBS Group’s owner, William Didden, made the decision to establish Georgia as the location for our U.S. headquarters because of the successful foundation we have built in Atlanta through PBS Aerospace. Atlanta has proven to be an exceptional base for our operations, offering access to an excellent education system, skilled workforce, robust infrastructure, and a thriving business environment. The positive experiences and success in Atlanta have undoubtedly influenced our choice as they reflect Georgia’s ability to support our continued growth.”
Erin Durham, CEO of PBS Aerospace, added, “We look forward to building our new Roswell factory, which will produce the world’s most advanced small turbojet engines designed to meet the needs of the U.S. Department of Defense. This move aligns seamlessly with our larger growth strategy, which focuses on partnering with Georgia’s extensive manufacturing, aerospace, and defense sectors.”
