Pacific Engineering Inc. shows off new North Omaha facility
The $335 million Economic Recovery Act for North and South Omaha was hailed as landmark legislation. Close to $90 million of that money was dedicated to securing Omaha’s airport business park.
Pacific Engineering, no stranger to Omaha, became the first tenant to move into the park. Osie V. Combs Jr., president of Pacific Engineering Inc., cut the ribbon on a brand new 150,000-square-foot manufacturing facility along Abbott Drive.
"We manufacture components for this country," said Combs. "We’re in the space for defense technology right now, so we make those components they use to support other needs for the government."
The company was awarded a Navy contract to develop a critical component for the nation’s next-generation nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile.
"Workforce shortage a challenge for manufacturers," said Michelle Levil of Levil Technologies. "By 2028, we’re going to have a deficit of 2.4 million jobs in manufacturing, and that’s a big problem for our country."
