- Neubert Aero Corp Expands to Hernando County
New 10,000 square foot facility unites company’s manufacturing and business operations.
Neubert Aero Corp. (NAC), a leading global provider of quality airport safety products, friction pavement systems and services, has finalized expansion plans for a 10,000 sq. ft. facility in the Hernando County Airport Industrial Park.
The facility will bring NAC Dynamics, the company’s manufacturing arm, and Neubert Aero Corp. its sales and marketing division, together under one roof. NAC Dynamics will continue to produce NAC’s Continuous Friction Measurement Equipment (CFME) called the NAC Dynamic Friction Tester -DFT™ and the Aircraft Ramp Removal Platform (ARRP). In addition to the facility, which will be used primarily for warehousing and manufacturing, NAC will take advantage of the airport’s airside access and hangars for its corporate aircraft.
Under a license agreement with the airport, Neubert Aero Corp. and NAC Dynamics will conduct research and development for NAC’s Dynamic Friction Tester using a 1,500 foot “performance test track.” The track will be used to test the calibration of friction testing equipment and reporting of friction measurements.
“Our equipment is well known for repeatability in friction testing, and the test runway gives us a controlled environment for the ongoing fine-tuning of our Dynamic Friction Tester and other friction equipment,” says Tim Neubert, vice president of Neubert Aero Corp. “Uniting manufacturing, warehousing and R&D under one roof will give us everything we need to further the science of airport safety and testing.”
NAC has contracted with Proud Pelican Construction to design and build the facility, including future plans for development of administrative offices. The company currently employs 8 full and part-time workers and plans to expand its workforce once it has moved into the new facility. NAC will be eligible for local economic development incentives for any new jobs created.
