Greensboro, N.C. – Marshall Aerospace, one of the world’s largest independent aerospace and defense companies, has announced plans to establish a new aircraft maintenance and engineering facility at the Piedmont Triad International Airport Mega Site in Greensboro, North Carolina. 

The new facility will support the company's continued growth and expansion in the United States, and is expected to create 240 new jobs in the Triad, contributing to the local economy and community. The company plans to invest $50 million in the new facility, which will feature state-of-the-art technology and equipment for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul. The new facility will be designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating energy-efficient systems and practices to minimize its environmental impact. 

“The addition of Marshall Aerospace will make an enormous impact on our workforce,” said Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan. “The City welcomes this multimillion-dollar investment, which reinforces our placement as North Carolina’s aerospace capital.” 

"It is my pleasure to welcome Marshall USA to our community and look forward to the economic growth and job opportunities this investment will bring," said Melvin “Skip” Alston, Chairman of Guilford County Commissioners. "The decision to establish a new MRO facility at PTI demonstrates our region's continued commitment to providing a business-friendly environment with a skilled workforce and robust infrastructure. We are excited to see Marshall thrive and contribute to our county’s success." 

“We believe Piedmont Triad International Airport is the ideal home of our US Aerospace operations,” said Marshall Group CEO Kathy Jenkins. “We are proud to join the well-established Greensboro aerospace ecosystem and will strive to make the greatest possible contribution to the North Carolinian community and economy. We are very grateful for the exceptional support and partnership we have received from Greensboro City Council and the State Government of North Carolina as we look to expand our operations in North America.”

Paul Mengert, the Chairman of the Piedmont Triad International Airport Authority, expressed his enthusiasm for the addition of Marshall Aerospace to the airport campus. “The Airport Authority welcomes Marshall as the newest member of the growing list of aerospace companies from around the world that call PTI home,” Mengert emphasized.
