BAE Systems, a leading aerospace technology company, is expanding its operations in Endicott, New York, with a 150,000 square feet addition to its existing footprint. The dedicated facility will be equipped for high-voltage energy storage systems (ESS) development, manufacturing, and field support, advancing sustainable aviation solutions.
The expansion underscores BAE Systems’ commitment to the commercial aircraft electrification market segment, positions the company for future growth, and reinforces its dedication to the Greater Binghamton community. More than 1,300 employees currently work at the Endicott site, and the company will continue to increase its workforce to accommodate resulting business growth.
“We are building the future of power and energy management in the Greater Binghamton area,” said Ehtisham Siddiqui, vice president and general manager of Controls and Avionics Solutions at BAE Systems. “This expansion deepens our commitment to the region, while positioning us at the forefront of rising demand for aircraft electrification technology. By investing in local talent and advanced manufacturing, we are preparing to meet evolving customer needs and enabling the future of flight.”
The ESS facility will be completed over the next few years and will include pilot production lines for new product development maturation, fully automated high-volume manufacturing capability, a state-of-the-art engineering laboratory to test battery cells and energy storage systems, office space, and designated space for comprehensive aftermarket support. Work on the project has already begun.
A member of New Energy New York, BAE Systems collaborates with industry, academic, and government leaders to accelerate the energy storage development ecosystem in the Southern Tier through innovation and workforce development.
BAE Systems employees in Endicott innovate for a wide range of programs for commercial and military applications in air and on land, including flight controls, engine controls, mission systems, and power and propulsion solutions.
