Appleton Lands New Gulfstream Expansion

Where do jets get painted? Appleton! Or at least they will, starting in 2023 when Gulfstream finishes its paint hanger expansion. They’ll also need people to paint the jets, too.

Here’s Five Fast Facts on Gulfstream’s New Appleton Facility.:

‍

1. 🛩️ Big Planes - Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. is almost finished with the new 73,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility at the Appleton International Airport. 
2. 🛬 Friendly Skies - This is a huge cost-saving move. Since Gulfstream has to ship a finished jet overseas to get painted and then bring it back here. 
3. 🛫 Still Growing -This is Gulfstream’s third expansion at the airport that also includes a maintenance facility and an expanded completion facility. Gulfstream clearly loves Appleton (and they should).
4. 🧑‍✈️ Headcount - The jets aren’t gonna paint themselves, so Gulfstream will be adding 200 high-paying jobs to its existing staff.
5. ✈️ Rent’s Due - Side note: the airport is owned by Outagamie County, but it’s not supported by tax funds. It uses rental fees for revenue, which is pretty smart if you think about it.

‍

🔥Bottom line: Gulfstream’s continued presence in Appleton (and even the state) really shows its commitment, and is a testament to the quality of work from Fox Valley residents. Gulfstream is also a luxury brand, and the rich are gonna keep buying those jets, so the business isn’t going away any time soon.
