MESA, AZ (January 29, 2026) – Hadrian, the advanced manufacturing company building AI-powered factories for America, today celebrated the opening of Factory 3 (F3), a large-scale manufacturing and software hub in Mesa, Arizona. Hadrian has invested $200 million in the 290,000-square-foot facility, which will bring over 350 new jobs to the community in early 2026.

Hadrian executives were joined by state, federal, and local elected officials, federal delegation staff, and industry partners to celebrate the project at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the significant impact it will have on the local and state economy.

The event marks a major milestone in Hadrian’s mission to reindustrialize the United States and expand domestic capacity in next-generation manufacturing, as the facility will serve as a key node in Hadrian’s growing national footprint. The facility, already in production, will make precision components and mission-critical systems for aerospace and defense.

“Hadrian’s investment in Mesa is a win for Arizona and America,” said Governor Katie Hobbs. “By creating hundreds of family-sustaining jobs and transforming the way we get things done, this cutting-edge facility further positions Arizona at the forefront of America’s high-tech manufacturing resurgence.”

“Our investment in Arizona was made possible through collaboration with state and local officials who share Hadrian’s commitment to make manufacturing meaningful work again and to rebuild U.S. industrial capacity,” said Chris Power, Founder and CEO of Hadrian. “Factory 3 is not just a facility, it’s a platform for AI-enhanced production that strengthens America’s industrial base and brings high-quality jobs to Mesa and the broader region.”

“This facility showcases real investment in Mesa – creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and strengthening America’s manufacturing base,” said Congressman Andy Biggs. “Hadrian’s innovative technology is redefining what’s possible for American industry and setting a new global standard for production. Expanding domestic production is critical to our economy and national security. Hadrian’s growth here puts American workers first and helps to ensure that advanced manufacturing remains anchored right here at home.”

Factory 3 features state-of-the-art manufacturing systems, autonomous production workflows, and deep integration of AI and robotics to accelerate throughput and enhance quality. The facility’s software hub supports the coordination of advanced manufacturing processes and extends Hadrian’s ability to deliver precision systems with speed and reliability.

“Hadrian’s new facility represents an exciting addition to Arizona’s thriving aerospace and defense sector,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We’re grateful for Hadrian’s strong commitment to our state. Arizona is proud to lead the way in building the future of manufacturing.”

“Greater Phoenix has been a historical stronghold for aerospace and defense; it makes perfect sense that with Hadrian’s investment, the region is situated to be the future of the industry, too,” said Christine Mackay, President and CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “The manufacturing and automation capabilities of Hadrian set a standard for the national industry to follow.”

“Mesa has a long history of supporting aerospace and defense innovation, and Hadrian’s F3 is the next chapter in that story,” said Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman. “Located near Mesa Gateway Airport, this facility brings advanced manufacturing, high-quality jobs, and cutting-edge technology to our community. Investments like this strengthen Mesa’s local economy while honoring the role our city has played in national service and innovation for generations.”

“The grand opening of Hadrian’s F3 facility is a win for southeast Mesa—bringing new career opportunities for local families and reinforcing our city’s reputation as a place where advanced manufacturing thrives,” said Vice Mayor Scott Somers. “As a veteran, I take special pride in knowing that the work happening here will help support the men and women in uniform who rely on dependable equipment every day. I’m proud to welcome Hadrian to Mesa and am grateful for their investment in our community.”
