“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.”
