COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado USA — Apogee Components has completed their move to a new production and shipping facility this past week and its back to business as usual.  According to Tim Van Milligan, president of the company, "Apogee has been bursting at the seams for a long time and our previous 2380 square foot building was getting really tight."

Apogee Components new 6000+ square foot home.

Van Milligan states he wanted to move last year, "But things didn't work out like I wanted. And as time went on, it only got even tighter in the old building, so we really had to move this year."  But that's all behind them now, as they are stretching their legs in the new space, over 6000 square feet of room, and Van Milligan is already thinking ahead.

"Now that we're in the bigger building, I do have plans to expand," Van Milligan stated. "Look for some new stuff coming later this year."  They are 100 percent operational presently and want everyone to know that if you place an order, they'll get it out pronto.

Van Milligan extends an offer to anyone that happens to be in the Colorado Springs area to feel free to drop by.  Their business hours are from 8:30AM to 5:00PM MDT.

Some seem to think the rocketry industry is shrinking, and this at least dispells that proposition for the model rocketry segment. I don't know what the accurate stats are for the high power end of the market, though...
