Moog Inc. Expands Aerospace and Defense Operations in West Valley City

Today, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) awarded Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A, MOG.B)  a post-performance tax reduction for its expansion in West Valley City. The corporate incentive is part of the state’s Economic Development Tax Increment Financing (EDTIF) program.

Under the agreement, Moog projects adding 89 new, high-paying jobs and investing nearly $12 million in Utah over the next five years.

“Precision engineering and defense technology are central to Utah’s strategic economic priorities,” said GOED Commissioner Jefferson Moss. “Moog’s choice to grow its space and defense manufacturing operations in West Valley promotes high-paying jobs and is in line with our goal to be leaders in advanced hardware manufacturing.”

Moog Inc. is an American multinational that designs and manufactures precision motion and fluid control systems for aerospace, defense, industrial, and healthcare sectors. Established in 1951 and based near East Aurora, New York, the company develops high-performance technologies, including aircraft flight control components, satellite components, and automated machinery. Its Salt Lake City, Utah facility serves as a key manufacturing hub for the Space and Defense Group, focusing on producing advanced defense systems, weapon turrets, and missile control components, including the Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) missile actuation systems, which offer precise steering and actuation control.

“Expanding our space and defense production operation in West Valley City is a direct reflection of the exceptional Utah workforce,” said John Boncaldo, government relations director at Moog. “Their talent, dedication, and commitment to excellence make this facility a showcase — consistently delivering hardware with 100% quality, 100% on-time, advancing our mission of equipping those who defend freedom and explore the universe.”

“Moog has been an important part of West Valley City’s business community for many years, and we are thrilled to see the company make another significant investment in our city,” said Jonathan Springmeyer, director of economic development for West Valley City. “This expansion reinforces West Valley City’s growing role in Utah’s aerospace and defense industry while bringing new high-quality jobs and economic opportunities to our community. We appreciate Moog’s continued commitment to West Valley City and the State of Utah.”
