In late 2019, Arcturus Aerospace was a fast-growing company operating in Southern California with ambitious expansion plans for the future. Determined to leave California, and after an exhaustive property search in neighboring Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, company president Mark Greenwell, with the help of Johnny Mitchum, Commercial Real Estate Broker, found the perfect manufacturing facility in Little Rock while visiting his mother and father. Working closely with local bank First Community, the building was purchased, and the trucks arrived in Little Rock on the 17th of March 2020 to unload. Relocating the company during COVID-19 was daunting, but with community support, we persevered.
Today, Arcturus Aerospace® is proud to be an Arkansas Corporation, servicing all our original customers pre-COVID and adding more from our base of operations in Little Rock. The company is fully certified ISO-9001, AS9100D, and ITAR complaint, CAGE CODE 8BUX6, HUB ZONE YES. Currently, we are in the certification process for NADCAP to certify our internal Anodize and Chem-Film processes onsite.
