Mercury Systems, Inc., a global leader in aerospace and defence electronics, today celebrated the expansion of its Phoenix production facility, adding 50,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space that allows the company to increase production capacity and accelerate delivery timelines through vertical integration to support critical U.S. and international defence programmes.
As the United States and its allies accelerate military hardware production across all battlefield domains, Mercury is taking steps to increase manufacturing capacity and efficiency in its operations. The company has invested to build out a new, highly automated manufacturing facility on the company's existing Phoenix campus, which is expected to create more than 50 jobs in the next year, with significant capacity for future growth.
Mercury's Phoenix campus is already the company's largest manufacturing centre, with more than 400 employees. The existing facility manufactures printed circuit board assemblies used across Mercury's product lines and delivers cutting-edge memory solutions, high-performance space drives, and advanced packaging technologies built to operate in extreme environments. Operations in Mercury's new building in Phoenix began in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 and will allow the company to ramp up production for a number of critical products and programmes, including its Common Processing Architecture programmes.
"We are excited to expand our presence in Phoenix and bring more capacity online to meet customer demand for high-performance processing capabilities that ensure mission dominance for the warfighter at the edge," said Tod Brindlinger, Mercury's Senior Vice President of Operations. "We see strong demand signals across our portfolio, ending fiscal year 2026 with record bookings and backlog that our expanded production facility will help us to execute against."
