East Aurora, NY — Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) announced the completion and commissioning of a new ISO Class 8 certified clean room at its Niagara Falls facility. This advanced manufacturing environment is now fully operational and will accelerate Moog’s assembly, integration, and testing of thrusters to support a growing portfolio of defense and commercial spaceflight programs.
Completed on schedule, the expansion increases dedicated clean room capacity by more than 80% and is specifically designed for continuous, multi-shift operations for thrusters and propulsion systems. The new environment seamlessly supports the full production flow, from precision subassembly and integration through hot-fire testing, enabling Moog to shorten lead times and respond more rapidly to evolving mission requirements.
“As national security priorities evolve, we are rapidly transforming our manufacturing footprint to enable faster, higher-volume delivery of critical defense capabilities,” said Mark Covelli, senior vice president, Moog Space Division. “Our investments in capacity, workforce, and advanced production technologies ensure we can support the accelerated timelines demanded by missile defense, space-based interceptor, and Golden Dome programs.”
“Our Niagara Falls clean room is a foundational enhancement for our propulsion business,” said Mike Popadick, general manager, Propulsion Systems. “With this expanded, purpose-built space, we are equipped to ramp up production while maintaining the precise quality and reliability our customers expect, whether for satellites, lunar landers, or defense applications.”
The new clean room integrates seamlessly with the broader Niagara Falls site, home to four in-house high-altitude hot-fire test chambers and extensive engineering capabilities, reinforcing Moog’s vertically integrated propulsion expertise. Since breaking ground on this expansion, Moog has also added dozens of new operations and engineering roles to support continued growth while upholding best-in-class quality and safety standards.
Moog’s propulsion systems have powered missions throughout the solar system. This latest clean room completion further solidifies Moog’s 75-year legacy of innovation, precision engineering, and commitment to enabling exploration and defense.
