Huntington Beach, California – Elevate Aircraft Seating Expands Manufacturing Facility
Elevate Aircraft Seating, a prominent designer and manufacturer of airline seats, has made significant strides to enhance its manufacturing capabilities by leasing over 280,000 square feet of warehouse space in Huntington Beach, California. This new facility is anticipated to bolster the company’s production and distribution operations, supporting its position in the aerospace sector.
The new manufacturing site is located at McDonnell Center Business Park on 5701 Skylab Road, providing a strategic base for Elevate Aircraft Seating as it aims to meet the evolving demands of the airline industry. The facility comprises 280,460 square feet in a two-floor industrial building owned by Prologis Inc., a leading real estate investment trust.
The building was previously occupied by Hybrid Apparel, and Elevate Aircraft Seating plans to utilize the space to significantly enhance its operational prowess. The company already operates an 80,000-square-foot facility at 5511 Skylab Road, which will continue to function alongside the new location, ensuring both facilities can work in synergy to fulfill production requirements.
Strategic Growth and Production Goals
The expansion of Elevate Aircraft Seating is part of the company’s broader strategy to increase its production capacity. By moving into this larger facility, the company aims to optimize its manufacturing processes and improve the efficiency of its distribution channels. This move comes in response to the rising need for innovative seating solutions in the aviation sector, especially as air travel continues to rebound.
As an entity previously known as Adient Aerospace, Elevate Aircraft Seating has a rich history in the industry. The company has established itself as a significant player, focusing on elevating passenger comfort through advanced seat designs and manufacturing techniques. The expansion into a more extensive facility reflects its ongoing commitment to growth and quality while reinforcing its competitive edge.
Current Operations and Future Outlook
Elevate Aircraft Seating, headquartered in Bothell, Washington, has existing operations in Huntington Beach, providing a critical base for its design and manufacturing activities. The additional space at 5701 Skylab Road positions the company favorably within one of California’s key aerospace hubs, allowing for better logistics and access to talent.
According to industry experts, the move to enlarge manufacturing capabilities is essential for companies in the aerospace industry, especially as global air travel begins to recover from pandemic-related declines. Companies like Elevate Aircraft Seating must be prepared for increasing demand by ramping up production efforts and enhancing their product offerings to remain competitive.
With the expansion of its manufacturing footprint, Elevate Aircraft Seating is poised for future growth, aiming not only to meet current market demands but also to innovate and set new standards in airline seating. The establishment of the larger facility is a clear indication of the company’s intention to solidify its market presence and respond effectively to the dynamic needs of the aviation industry.
As Elevate Aircraft Seating progresses with its plans, stakeholders are optimistic about the potential benefits this expansion will bring, not just to the company itself, but to the broader aerospace community and economy in Huntington Beach and beyond.
