As part of the celebration of National Manufacturing Day, Lockheed Martin cut the ribbon on a newly renovated Electronics Manufacturing Facility (EMF) at its Space Systems Company campus in Littleton, Colorado. The October 2 opening marks the completion of the facility’s significant two-year revamp.

The 28,000-sq-ft Electronics Manufacturing Facility provides development, fabrication and environmental test of spacecraft electronics and is a sign of Lockheed Martin’s momentum in the manufacturing technology space.

“It’s really fitting that we’re hosting this event on Manufacturing Day,” said Brian O’Connor, Vice President of Production Operations for Lockheed Martin Space Systems. “Today’s manufacturing is a lot different than it was in the past – especially here at Lockheed Martin. We mostly work in clean room environments with the latest technology,” he offered, referring to the added clean room capacity in the new facility.
