A ribbon-cutting ceremony and facility tour was held with employees, local business and community leaders, customers and government personnel at General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Healdsburg, California, facility at 190 Foss Creek Circle.

The state-of-the-art facility is designed to meet the rigorous standards of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) for a ‘clean room’ production environment. It will house the company’s manufacturing operations for advanced electro-mechanical actuation systems used in a variety of guided projectiles and missiles. General Dynamics supplies proportional control actuation systems to a number of defence contractors.

“The opening of this facility is an example of General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems’ continued growth and expertise in developing and producing sophisticated components for nextgeneration missile programmes,” said Dan Paul, Vice President and General Manager of Precision Systems for the company. “This operations expansion reinforces our commitment to serve the missile defence industry using innovative technology combined with a proven and reliable production capability.”
