BAE grows in the US

June 27, 2008 by Dagpotter · Comment
Filed under: Acquisitions, Arizona, BAE Systems, Contract Additions, Contract Awards, Federal Budget Process, Military Aviation, development program, logistics, production program 

This article discusses the effect BAE has had on Phoenix, AZ. It also illustrates how the non-US company has grown through the acquisitions of US companies and has gained more and more US defene business. In Phoenix alone the number of BAE employees has tripled in the last five years or so, and the company has been buying facilities and companies. The article also shows how some in Congress feel a British company is better than a joint German and French, making it easier for BAE to continue to gain work in the US.
