Redwire Expands Footprint in Colorado
Redwire Expands Footprint in Colorado
Opens New Manufacturing and Testing Facility
Redwire has opened a new manufacturing facility in Longmont, Colorado. The new, state-of-the-art Longmont facility features 26,000 square feet of high-bay manufacturing, integration, and testing floor space as well as an advanced RF testing chamber for installed performance testing of RF payloads.
“The new Longmont facility will enable Redwire to manufacture more RF Systems and provide our customers with new, expanded integration and testing capabilities.”

With the new facility, Redwire is expanding its footprint in Longmont by 70 percent, bringing the total workable area to just under 65,000 square feet. This facility will enable further high-volume design, manufacturing, and testing of a variety of space-based antenna hardware and large-scale deployable structures for use in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and beyond for government and commercial customers.
“The new Longmont facility will enable Redwire to manufacture more RF Systems and provide our customers with new, expanded integration and testing capabilities,” said Redwire Space Systems president Adam Biskner. “The Redwire team in Longmont has already delivered antennas supporting over 50 spacecraft for a national security constellation being developed, and thanks to the investment in this facility we are anticipating we will be able to triple that hardware throughput in just the next few years.”
Redwire’s existing Longmont, Colorado, facility is home to several of the company’s rapidly expanding programs, including production of Link 16 antennas for a constellation of national security LEO satellites meant to give warfighters beyond line-of-sight communications and secure, anti-jam tactical data networks. The facility also develops large, deployable structures, including a solar sail for NASA’s Solar Cruiser program.
