Representative Robert Aderholt, R-Alabama, followed up Tuesday on his Monday announcement about a significant new defense-related project coming to northwest Alabama.
Aderholt confirmed the company behind the investment is Hadrian, which his press release described as “a fast-growing advanced manufacturing company focused on strengthening America’s defense industrial base.” The company has launched a website for its upcoming work in the region at hadrianalabama.com. Billboards have also gone up in the Shoals.
“I am very pleased to confirm that Hadrian is the company partnering with the U.S. Navy on this important project in northwest Alabama,” Aderholt said. “Hadrian represents the kind of innovative American manufacturing that is critical to rebuilding and strengthening our nation’s defense supply chain.”
Hadrian specializes in advanced precision manufacturing and works with leading defense and aerospace partners to rapidly produce high-quality components needed for national security.
“This investment represents a strong partnership between private industry, the U.S. Navy, and the Trump Administration to reinforce America’s defense industrial base,” Aderholt said. “Northwest Alabama has a long history of supporting our nation’s military and defense mission, going all the way back to World War I, and we are proud to play a role in helping ensure the United States maintains the strongest military in the world.”
Aderholt said Hadrian’s decision to invest in northwest Alabama highlights the region’s skilled workforce, strategic location and growing importance in the nation’s defense manufacturing ecosystem.
“This is exactly the type of investment that strengthens our economy, supports American jobs, and reinforces our national security,” Aderholt said. “I look forward to working with Hadrian, the Navy, and the Trump Administration as this project moves forward.”
