SPS Technologies Announces Rebuild of Abington Aerospace Plant, Targeting 2028 Return to Full Operations

Renderings depict a 350,000-square-foot, LEED-focused facility with rooftop solar on the original site.

Overview

  • Construction is slated to begin in 2026 on the Highland Avenue property, with a goal of being production-ready by 2028.
  • The two-story complex will be about 30% smaller than the former plant and will include manufacturing areas, office space, and advanced production equipment.
  • Company leaders pledge hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, near-term construction jobs, and long-term positions as operations return.
  • Following the Feb. 17 four-alarm fire that destroyed roughly 80% of operations, remaining work was shifted to Langhorne and the damaged structures were demolished.
  • Executives say the project will meet safety and regulatory standards, with an intention to bring back some employees who were laid off after the fire.
