Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company, announced the completion of a major expansion to its Huntsville Office in Huntsville, Alabama. The expanded facility will enable Bell to provide briefing and conference space for its customers and the company.

When Bell initially opened the Huntsville Office in 2018, the team envisioned the state-of-the-art facility would serve as a space to showcase its innovative vertical lift solutions that inspire customers and government lawmakers to pursue next-generation capabilities. Six years after opening the facility’s doors, Bell has decided to further its investment and expand the office to keep pace with growing priorities.

“Bell has come a long way since we initially opened the office here in Huntsville,” said Jeffrey Schloesser, executive vice president, strategic pursuits. “In the last few years, Bell has been selected to deliver the U.S. Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) to the nation’s warfighters, and we continue to expand our vertical lift solutions across our portfolio. By expanding our footprint in Huntsville, Bell can increase support for both ongoing and future efforts.”

The team in Huntsville played a key role in the earlier stages of the FLRAA competition with a focus on building strong support in the region for military modernization and Future Vertical Lift objectives. As the U.S. Army and Bell continue to move forward with FLRAA, the Huntsville team will bolster support for the program and aid in efforts to educate the U.S. Army, Joint Forces and lawmakers on the capabilities offered by tiltrotor technology.
