Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has officially opened its new state-of-the-art paint hangar in Appleton, Wisconsin. This expansion is part of a multi year plan announced in 2021 aimed at providing customers with a comprehensive aircraft completions experience in Appleton. The expansion has significantly increased Gulfstream’s operations and has led to the creation of more than 200 jobs in the region. Gulfstream’s continued investment in its facilities aims to provide its customers with comprehensive support and access to world-class aircraft completions and services.
The new paint hangar, custom-designed and covering 73,000 square feet (6,782 square meters), has the capacity to complete the exterior paint process for up to 48 aircraft annually. The facility represents an investment of over $55 million and uses a proprietary paint booth design developed by Gulfstream in collaboration with Wisconsin-based paint booth manufacturer Global Finishing Solutions.
