Aerospace Manufacturer to Bring 100 Jobs to South King County Next Year

An international aerospace manufacturer plans to expand its manufacturing capacity and add more than 100 jobs in the South King County area next year. 

King County Executive Dow Constantine joined representatives from Carbures for the announcement on Tuesday. 

Keth Houseal, Carbures USA General Manager, said the company plans to expand its manufacturing at a location to be determined in South King County by early next year.

Carbures is an engineering and manufacturing carbon fiber composite structures, with headquarters in the U.S., Europe and China.  

“Growth in our aerospace supply chain creates jobs and prosperity, and I welcome Carbures to King County as a new link in that chain,” said Executive Constantine from the Spain Stand at the Paris Air Show.

“King County is an important location for Carbures because we are already present in the supplier network for Boeing,” said Ivan Contreras, CEO of Carbures USA. “We look forward to growing in South King County and creating more jobs.”

He said the new facility would be roughly 60,000 square feet, in order to provide HLU (Hand Lay Up) and RMCP (Rapid Multi-injection Compression Process) capabilities, adding more than 100 jobs by next year.
