L3 to Open Manufacturing CoE, Add Up to 250 Jobs in Utah; Dan Gelston Quoted - top government contractors - best government contracting event

L3 Technologies will invest $50M to establish a manufacturing center of excellence in Utah to facilitate the prototyping and development of technology offerings such as electronic warfare and laser communications systems.

The facility will incorporate additive manufacturing and circuit card assembly processes as the company seeks to accelerate the design, production and delivery of communications products to military clients, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development said Thursday.

Construction of the CoE is part of L3’s expansion efforts, which GOED estimates would create up to 250 jobs and add up to $6.7M in revenue to the state over the next nine years.

“We are actively recruiting for well-paying, critically important engineering jobs right now," said Dan Gelston, president of L3’s broadband communications sector.

"With the exciting and challenging work we are doing for the military, we believe we can attract even more talent to L3 and Salt Lake City for the long term,” Gelston added.

The company employs nearly 3,500 workers in Utah's capital, where the broadband communications unit maintains an office.
