Van Horn Aviation recently moved into its new facility located at 1510 W. Drake Drive in Tempe, Arizona. Purchased by VHA in April 2011, the building underwent extensive renovations for several months before the company began moving its operations to the new facility in November.
The Drake Drive facility, with its square footage of approximately 23,000 sq. ft., is nearly four times as large as VHA’s former 6,400 sq. ft. facility. It’s located just off of Interstate 10 at the Elliot Road exit for convenient access from the metro Phoenix area, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and communities to the south.
With the increase in available manufacturing space, VHA also added new paint and prep booths, built separate kitting and clean rooms, and increased its shipping and receiving area. Other amenities in the new facility include lockers, showers and a break room for employees; an upgraded conference room with large screen media center; and an expanded phone system.
