For Immediate Release:

Building Nuclear Deterrent Hardware to Secure Our Nation

Corona, CA – AMRO Fabricating Corp., and its parent company Karman Space & Defense, were pleased to host Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA-42) at its new facility in Corona. The newly activated 80 employee, 75,000 square foot facility features state-of-the-art machinery and tooling equipment engaged for some of the nation’s most important national security programs. These include significant structural components of the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) program, which is the replacement for the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) and designed to ensure the viability of the ground-based leg of the nuclear triad until the end of the 21st century, as well as components for the United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket, which has long been a workhorse rocket for getting large government defense and intelligence satellites into orbit around the Earth.

“I’m pleased to welcome Congressman Calvert to our new Corona facility. We’re very happy to be in his district and producing hardware of consequence,” said Michael Riley, CEO of AMRO. He continued, saying “we know how hard the Congressman fights for national security every day as the Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee in the House of Representatives, particularly when it comes to the big-ticket items, like our nation’s nuclear deterrent. Here at AMRO Corona, we are building pieces of the next generation nuclear deterrent every day, and we couldn’t be more proud of these efforts to secure our nation. We thank Congressman Calvert for his efforts on our behalf in the Congress.”
