Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has announced that a California aviation company will be expanding its operations with a facility in Wichita.
Brek Manufacturing Company intends to purchase two buildings in Wichita, investing $4.5 million and creating 75 new jobs over the next five years.
Brek specializes in the making of complex structural aircraft parts, including contoured surface parts common with modern-day aircraft. Company officials said Wichita’s aerospace and aviation ecosystem and workforce were factors in their decision to expand into Kansas. Brek’s products are used in commercial, strategic and tactical military aircraft.
The Wichita City Council is expected to consider industrial revenue bonds for the Brek expansion during their regular meeting next week.
