KIHOMAC, Inc. Expands Manufacturing Operation in Layton

Today, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) awarded KIHOMAC, Inc. a post-performance tax reduction for its expansion in Davis County. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (EDTIF) program.

Under the agreement, KIHOMAC projects adding 177 new, high-paying jobs and investing more than $36 million in Utah over the next seven years.

“Utah’s aerospace and defense sector is a key component of our long-term economic plan,” said GOED Commissioner Jefferson Moss. “KIHOMAC’s growth in Davis County highlights our commitment to supporting high-tech manufacturing, ensuring a strong supply chain, and delivering mission-critical capabilities for national defense. Their investment opens up skilled engineering and fabrication jobs that support our statewide economic goals.”

Founded in 2003, KIHOMAC is a veteran-owned aerospace and defense company providing engineering, advanced manufacturing, reverse engineering, sustainment, and lifecycle support solutions across the aerospace and defense sectors. With more than 400 employees, KIHOMAC supports customers across the full system lifecycle — from engineering and reengineering aging systems to manufacturing complex components and assemblies and developing platform upgrades. The company’s capabilities help improve aircraft availability, extend the service life of critical weapon systems, strengthen the defense industrial base, and ensure platforms remain mission-ready as operational requirements evolve.

“Utah has been an important part of KIHOMAC’s growth for many years, and we continue to see tremendous opportunity to expand our capabilities here,” said Adam Grimm, president and COO of KIHOMAC. “The state provides an exceptional combination of a highly skilled aerospace and defense workforce, proximity to key customers and partners, and a business environment that supports continued investment. This expansion will allow us to grow our engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities, create high-quality jobs, and increase our capacity to deliver innovative, mission-critical solutions to our customers. We appreciate the support of the state, Davis County, Layton City, and our economic development partners as we continue investing in KIHOMAC’s people, capabilities, and future in Utah.”

“We’re excited to see KIHOMAC continue to grow and invest in Utah,” said Ryan Starks, executive director of EDCUtah. “Layton City and Davis County have demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting Utah’s aerospace industry and creating an environment where companies like KIHOMAC can thrive. We’re thrilled to see KIHOMAC choose to expand in Utah and look forward to the new opportunities this investment will create for the community and our state.”
