Aerospace modeling and manufacturing company to create more than 30 jobs in Tullahoma
CG Model Tek LLC, an Aerospace modeling and manufacturing company, will expand its manufacturing operations to Coffee County.
“Having spent over 30 years in the aerospace wind tunnel model and development industry, I can unequivocally state that there has always been a need for multiple players on the field. With the loss of Micro Craft, there would have been a significant challenge in the U.S. aerospace industry to support the development needs for both the commercial and defense players. We are proud to help fill that need as well as being able to partner with the local and state staff to create something meaningful for the community, the U.S. aerospace base and, most importantly, the war fighter,” said Chris Athaide, CEO, CG Model Tek
CG Model Tek will invest $4.5 million and create 32 jobs through the project, which includes purchasing the assets of longtime Tullahoma, Tennessee, company, Micro Craft.
“What happens in rural Tennessee matters to all Tennesseans, and I thank CG Model Tek for its investment in Coffee County. I look forward to seeing the positive impact these high-quality jobs will bring to the families across this community.” – Gov. Bill Lee
CG Model Tek will operate similarly to Micro Craft, serving the aerospace and defense industry.
