LAS VEGAS, Nevada USA -- AeroTech, Inc. is truly pleased to announce site selection for their new propellant manufacturing facility. This will allow for resumption of motor availability in time for the spring flying season and in support of the many Level 1, 2 and 3 projects that are currently in progress.
Located in Cedar City, Utah, the 5,000 sq. ft. building will house propellant manufacturing, packaging and shipping for the full line of AeroTech advanced solid fuel composite rocket motors and reload kits.
AeroTech was initially drawn to this location by its proximity to the main ammonium perchlorate supplier and was very pleased with the support shown by local governmental entities. This support was instrumental in making the final decision.
The project has been given official approval by Cedar City officials. Engineering and construction plans for this larger, more advanced facility are being completed. Move-in is expected to occur in late February with production to being shortly afterwards.
Motor production is planned to begin in March with 28 of the most popular Hobby and Easy Access™ motors in 29mm and 38mm sizes. The new F21 (fits 24mm "E" kits) is also planned in the initial production run. Delivery of Restricted Access™ motors is scheduled to begin in early April. The sequence of specific motor releases will be provided before the end of January.
Corporate headquarters and rocket kit manufacturing will remain in Las Vegas.
AeroTech, Inc. would like to thank all of its customers for their support over the last three months and is looking forward to meeting their rocketry needs in 2002 and beyond.
