SpaceFactory, an innovator in space and terrestrial construction technology, is moving its headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama, with a new facility at 209 Bailes St., near the growing Campus 805 area.

This relocation positions SpaceFactory at the heart of Huntsville’s advanced industrial landscape, where it will focus on expanding its lunar research and advanced manufacturing operations.

With NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and Redstone Arsenal nearby, Huntsville offers an ecosystem that aligns closely with SpaceFactory’s mission to push the boundaries of lunar infrastructure and sustainable construction technology.

As part of this move, the company will invest over $2 million into the facility, bringing at least 25 jobs to the area and contributing to Huntsville’s rapidly growing technology sector.

“We’re thrilled to join Huntsville’s vibrant community of innovators and are grateful for the strong support from the State of Alabama, Governor Kay Ivey, the City of Huntsville, and Mayor Tommy Battle,” said Dave Malott, CEO of SpaceFactory. “This opportunity allows our company to expand and support NASA’s Artemis program, following in the Apollo legacy and supporting a new era of lunar exploration.”

Governor Kay Ivey praised SpaceFactory’s choice, highlighting Alabama’s emerging role in high-tech innovation and space exploration.

“SpaceFactory’s decision to relocate underscores Alabama’s leadership in space technology and our dedication to supporting NASA’s return to the Moon. Huntsville’s unique industrial assets, alongside Alabama’s skilled workforce, make our state the ideal home for forward-thinking companies,” Ivey stated.

Huntsville’s appeal extends beyond its industrial base. The city’s quality of life was a key factor in the relocation from New York.

“Our team was part of this decision, and Huntsville’s unique culture really won us over,” said Connor McLeod, SpaceFactory’s VP of Engineering. “We’re excited to contribute to Rocket City and make it the space capital of the world.”

The new facility, designed by SpaceFactory’s sister firm, PlanetWorks Architecture, is set to begin construction this year, with completion expected by summer 2025.

SpaceFactory’s presence will add to Huntsville’s thriving technology sector, as the company pioneers sustainable, advanced construction solutions for the Moon, Mars, and challenging environments on Earth.

“Huntsville’s tech ecosystem and SpaceFactory’s innovative work are a perfect match,” said Mayor Tommy Battle. “Their focus on sustainable building technology, both for space and Earth, pushes the boundaries of traditional construction. We look forward to seeing their contributions to our city’s future as a global leader in space and technology.”
