NORTH AMITYVILLE, NY-Military products and professional services firm EDO Corp. will maintain its home base here. EDO, which is headquartered in New York City, will expand the facility, which currently holds its Marine and Aircraft Systems division, from an estimated 92,000 sf to 225,000 sf to accommodate its Defense Products and Technologies division’s relocation from nearby Deer Park, NY.

“We had proposals from various states and cities,” EDO’s director of investor relations and corporate communications William A. Walkowiak, CFA, tells GlobeSt.com. “Locations that provided synergies with other existing EDO operations were given serious consideration.”

EDO will invest a total of $48.8 million in real estate acquisition and improvements, machinery and equipment, employee training and relocation costs and retain 450 jobs in the state. The company has also committed to creating 375 new jobs here over the next five years. “The new space will house a modern manufacturing space, more suited for our current and expected production,” notes Walkowiak.
