en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ontic has signed a long-term lease for a 100,000-square-foot facility in Weston, Florida. The new site, the company's 10th global base for civil and military aircraft manufacturing, expands its South Florida footprint and significantly boosts manufacturing capacity.

The Weston facility is less than 20 miles from Ontic's 65,000-square-foot plant in Miramar, which began operations in 2025. The new site provides additional space for original equipment (OE) production, complementing the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations focused on at the Miramar plant. Together, these two South Florida bases offer the company flexible space to scale as customer demand grows.

The added capacity supports Ontic's rapidly expanding portfolio of licensed product lines. As Ontic secures more licenses, its need for manufacturing space increases accordingly, making sites like Weston central to handling new business. This lease is the latest in a series of investments on both sides of the Atlantic, following Ontic's acquisition of a new MRO facility in Tewkesbury, UK, which is scheduled to be fully operational by September 2026.

Brian Sartain, Chief Operating Officer of Ontic, stated that the company is proactively securing capacity to support current and foreseeable operational needs; the Weston plant provides additional dedicated space for OE production and room to continuously take on new production lines, while maintaining the availability and reliability that customers rely on.

Brian Sartain added that South Florida remains an aerospace manufacturing hub for the entire industry, and the site will benefit from the local high-skilled workforce and has everything needed for long-term investment. The Weston plant will undergo significant upgrades before production begins in 2027, with planned renovations including expanded electrical capacity, full-building air conditioning, and a range of high-end finishes to meet the specific requirements of aerospace manufacturing and the product lines it supports.

This investment enhances Ontic's ability to serve global customers, increases operational capacity, and enables the company to seize future opportunities, continuing to deliver critical aerospace products and services to markets worldwide.
