Lakewood Washington to be the New home of Aero Precision
Luke Cuenco 01.19.21
Aero Precision will be making a move very soon from their current facility in Tacoma, Washington to a new and larger facility located in Lakewood, which is just a short hop down south to a more industrialized area. The reason for the move as stated by the press release below is to contend with the ever-increasing demand for firearms and accessories which Aero has been trying to meet.
Lakewood Washington to be the New home of Aero Precision
Aero Precision is excited to announce that we have entered into an agreement for a new facility located in Lakewood, WA, home of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The 268,000 sq/ft facility is located within the Lakewood Industrial Park.
“We are very excited to be working with the City of Lakewood on our relocation.” said Scott Dover, CEO and Founder. “The city representatives have been extremely welcoming, and we foresee Lakewood as the long-term home for Aero Precision as we continue to position ourselves as a top tier manufacturing facility in the State of Washington.”
“The substantial growth our business has achieved over the past several years has tested the limits of our current facilities. This move will allow a full company consolidation, bringing all Aero Precision operations under one roof. Expanding our footprint is important for the continued growth of our company and will allow us to create efficiencies that will benefit our customers and employees alike.”
Aero Precision currently employs a workforce of over 800 employees, including a very diverse population of minority, women and veterans. Relocating to Lakewood will allow us to further our goals of diversity and inclusion by recruiting from the surrounding community and JBLM. As Lakewood’s largest private employer, Aero Precision will also have a significant impact on the city’s economic vitality.
The relocation will be a phased approach beginning in February with the goal of having all business functions in the new Lakewood facility by end of year 2021.

As Aero Precision continues to grow I think we can expect to see more new products, improved order fulfillment, and sustained growth for the firearms industry in the pacific northwest.
