Join Hadrian for the opening of Factory 4 in Cherokee, Alabama. Hadrian is proud to mark the opening of Factory 4, our newest advanced manufacturing facility and an important step in rebuilding America’s ability to make, produce, and win.

Factory 4 represents a major investment in Cherokee and the surrounding region: $2 billion in local investment and more than 1,000 jobs created. Senior government officials will also be in attendance to help recognize this milestone for Alabama, American manufacturing, and the future of our industrial base.

We’re thrilled to share that one of the greatest American rock bands of all time, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, will headline the live music portion of the celebration in addition to the speaking program. The band will help emphasize a day celebrating American industry, innovation, and community.

We invite you to apply to join us for a special ceremony celebrating the people, technology, and industrial strength driving this next chapter. Guests will have the opportunity to explore employment pathways and see firsthand how Hadrian’s factory model is helping strengthen U.S. manufacturing — from precision components to mission-critical systems.
