Pryer Aerospace has broken ground on a 60,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturing facility in Claremore, Oklahoma. The expansion will double Pryer Aerospace’s manufacturing space in Claremore, with the additional capacity intended to enhance support for existing aerospace customers while enabling the company to expand its customer base.

The Claremore facility supports aerospace manufacturing through advanced structural assembly, precision machining, metal fabrication, and other highly technical manufacturing capabilities. Representatives from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, Claremore Economic Development, Rogers County, Northeast Tech, Tulsa Tech, Argonaut Private Equity, and other project and community partners participated in the groundbreaking ceremony.
