Aerospace and defense company KIHOMAC plans to expand its operations in Davis County, Utah, according to a September 13 report. The more than $36 million project is expected to create 177 jobs and increase the engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities and capacity at the company's existing facility.
KIHOMAC President and COO Adam Grimm stated that Utah has been an important part of the company's growth for many years. He noted that the state offers a highly skilled aerospace and defense workforce, proximity to key customers and partners, and a business environment that supports continued investment.
To support the expansion, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) awarded KIHOMAC a post-performance tax reduction through the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing program. GOED Commissioner Jefferson Moss said the company's growth in Davis County highlights a commitment to supporting high-tech manufacturing, ensuring a strong supply chain, and delivering mission-critical capabilities for national defense. Moss added that the investment opens up skilled engineering and fabrication jobs that support statewide economic goals.
