Insitu to Improve Efficiency through New Facilities in Columbia Gorge

Production operations to be centralized near current headquarters in Bingen


BINGEN, Wash., Dec. 14, 2011— Insitu Inc., announced that it will expand its footprint in Bingen, Wash., with the addition of two new buildings, while also centralizing all production work. Construction of a 70,000-square-foot production facility and a 30,000-square-foot engine testing building is scheduled to begin in 2013 and conclude in 2014. Once those buildings are occupied, Bingen will be the sole location for all production operations.

“Insitu has achieved extraordinary growth due in no small part to its agility,” said Steve Morrow, Insitu president and CEO. “A more mature, efficient production operation in the Columbia River Gorge area will enable us to be even more responsive and affordable in meeting growing customer needs, ultimately allowing us to be more competitive and positioning Insitu well for future growth.”

Employees in Stevenson, Wash., who support production, will move to Bingen when the buildings are complete. No job reductions will occur at Insitu as a result of the facilities change.

Insitu initiated a plan for new facilities in 2009, evaluating multiple sites in the Gorge area based on current and future business needs. The company expects to sign a lease agreement for the Bingen facilities by next summer.

“After careful consideration, we are moving forward with a plan that matches our current needs and a location that can accommodate growth,” Morrow said. “We will continue to right size our facilities, as necessary, to meet our business objectives.”

Insitu, an independent subsidiary of The Boeing Company, employs 800 people in the Gorge area. The company designs, develops and manufactures UAS and provides associated services for commercial, civil and defense applications. With a small footprint and expeditionary focus for both land and sea operations, the company’s family of UAS solutions and global mission support serves the needs of worldwide customers. To date, these systems have accumulated 550,000 combat flight hours and 61,000 sorties. For more information, visit www.insitu.com.
