HOLLYWOOD — CFD Research broke ground Monday for an additional facility in Jackson County Industrial Park to support its growing military contracts.
The building will provide more than 28 additional offices, a second-high bay, a larger conference room space, and closed areas for classified meetings.
“Thank you to the town of Hollywood and Jackson County for welcoming us so graciously and celebrating this groundbreaking event, and thank you to the Alabama Department of Commerce for its support,” said Sameer Singhal, president and CEO of CFD Research. “The location and proximity to our other facilities have been an ideal solution and will enable us to work more efficiently and economically,”
The new 19,000-square-foot building will support work for ongoing contracts with the Army Space and Missile Defense Command, the Air Force Arnold Engineering Development
Complex, and other customers.
“CFD Research specializes in delivering next-level technologies, services, and products that
keep us all safe, and this expansion project at its Hollywood site will help the company achieve new milestones in that critical mission,” said Greg Canfield, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce.
In August 2021, CFD Research opened its 13,125-square-foot test and evaluation facility
on 10.4 acres in Jackson County Industrial Park in Hollywood. The company added 63 acres of property to the facility and a test stand four times larger than CFD Research’s previous capability to expand the company’s manufacturing, system integration, and test and evaluation services.
CFD Research had 4 employees at the Testing Center when it opened in 2021, has 22 employees now, and anticipates surpassing more than 40 employees in the near future.
