An aerospace and defense manufacturer has completed a $30 million move and expansion of its advanced manufacturing facility.
Elite Tool, a lean contract manufacturer for the aerospace, commercial and defense industries, has expanded into a new 120,000-square-foot production facility within its longtime hometown of Moscow Mills, in Lincoln County. The new plant replaces its former 70,000-square-foot site there.
The move and expansion is anticipated to create 32 new jobs, the manufacturer has said. It was supported by incentives from the Missouri Works state-funded job incentives programs that provides access to capital through tax credits or the return of tax withholdings. Details of those incentives were not immediately available.
