Birdon America plans to open a sixth location at the Port of Pensacola

Tony Ardito, president of Birdon America: “Our expansion to a sixth location at the Port of Pensacola demonstrates our commitment to helping to revitalize and rebuild America’s maritime industrial base.”

As part of our Career Connect Washington Maritime Sector ongoing work, we actively track, document, and inform about emerging technologies and trends. Birdon America reports that it plans to develop and operate a 400,000-square-foot advanced ship manufacturing facility at the Port of Pensacola, Florida. This will be Birdon’s sixth U.S. location.

In partnership with the City of Pensacola and other regional and national stakeholders, Birdon plans to establish a facility that will incorporate the latest technology and modern shipbuilding practices, creating more than three million production man hours per year of additional capacity for fabrication of ships and modules to support the U.S. maritime industrial base. The facility will employ approximately 2,000 personnel, including engineering, skilled trades, and other support roles.
