Welcome to the Area, Northrop Grumman!

As a home-grown company founded right here five years ago, Allocortech proudly extends a warm welcome to our fellow aviation and electronics innovators.

Governor Youngkin just announced that Northrop Grumman Mission Systems will invest more than $200 million to establish a brand-new advanced electronics manufacturing and testing facility at Nature’s Crossing Technology Center — bringing over 300 high-paying jobs to our community and solidifying the Shenandoah Valley as Virginia’s next aerospace powerhouse.

This isn’t just big news for Waynesboro — it’s confirmation that our region is ready to compete on the national stage for cutting-edge defense and avionics work. And we couldn’t be more excited to have Northrop as neighbors.

Why This Matters for Waynesboro’s Aerospace Future

Northrop didn’t just pick Virginia — they picked us. After evaluating more than 50 sites nationwide, Waynesboro won thanks to our skilled workforce, central location, and the growing ecosystem of aviation companies already calling the Shenandoah Valley home.

Here’s who’s already making our region a defense-tech hotspot… and exactly how Allocortech fits right in as your quick-turn local partner.
