Boeing Breaking Ground Ceremony

Boeing today ceremonially broke ground at the Sheffield Business Park.

The Sheffield facility is part of Boeing’s broader plan to grow in-house production of selective technologies. The Boeing Sheffield team will manufacture key actuation systems with improved productivity, enhanced production efficiency and reduced costs while maintaining quality. Boeing Fabrication's Portland facility in Gresham, Oregon, U.S.A., will also produce actuators and assemble actuation systems for these models as a new work statement. Actuation systems move the flaps on the trailing edge of an aeroplane wing to provide extra lift at low speeds during take-off and landing
