FARNBOROUGH, England, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TECT Aerospace, a global leader in aerospace component manufacturing, is pleased to announce that its new 157,000-square-foot facility located at 1515 75th Street SW in Everett, Washington is ramping up production ahead of schedule.

"This new facility, which was announced at the Paris Air Show in 2011, is well ahead of the planned startup schedule, thanks, in large part, to the dedicated TECT Aerospace team in the Seattle area led by Tom Winkelmann, VP & GM of TECT Aerospace's greater Seattle area operations," commented Pete Knapper, president of TECT Aerospace. Knapper went on to comment that the startup schedule has also been helped a great deal by the decision to replace many of the older machine tools that were located at TECT's Paine Field and Woodinville operations, which are being consolidated at the 75th Street location, with new, state of the art machining centers. Knapper concluded by saying "This facility consolidation and investment in manufacturing technology reaffirms our commitment to manufacturing in the Seattle area and supporting our commercial aerospace customers in this unprecedented up cycle."
