On Jan. 29, Hadrian, an advanced manufacturing company building AI-powered factories, celebrated the opening of its a large-scale manufacturing and software hub in Mesa. Hadrian has invested $200 million in the 290,000-square-foot facility — named Factory 3 (F3) — which will bring over 350 new jobs to the community in early 2026.
“Hadrian’s investment in Mesa is a win for Arizona and America,” said Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs. “By creating hundreds of family-sustaining jobs and transforming the way we get things done, this cutting-edge facility further positions Arizona at the forefront of America’s high-tech manufacturing resurgence.”
Factory 3 features state-of-the-art manufacturing systems, autonomous production workflows, and deep integration of AI and robotics to accelerate throughput and enhance quality. The facility’s software hub supports the coordination of advanced manufacturing processes and extends Hadrian’s ability to deliver precision systems with speed and reliability.

“Our investment in Arizona was made possible through collaboration with state and local officials who share Hadrian’s commitment to make manufacturing meaningful work again and to rebuild U.S. industrial capacity,” said Chris Power, Founder and CEO of Hadrian. “Factory 3 is not just a facility, it’s a platform for AI-enhanced production that strengthens America’s industrial base and brings high-quality jobs to Mesa and the broader region.”
Hadrian executives were joined by state, federal, and local elected officials, federal delegation staff, and industry partners to celebrate the project at a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the significant impact it will have on the local and state economy. The event marks a major milestone in Hadrian’s mission to reindustrialize the U.S. and expand domestic capacity in next-generation manufacturing, as the facility will serve as a key node in Hadrian’s growing national footprint. The facility, already in production, will make precision components and mission-critical systems for aerospace and defense.
“This facility showcases real investment in Mesa — creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and strengthening America’s manufacturing base,” said Congressman Andy Biggs. “Hadrian’s innovative technology is redefining what’s possible for American industry and setting a new global standard for production. Expanding domestic production is critical to our economy and national security. Hadrian’s growth here puts American workers first and helps to ensure that advanced manufacturing remains anchored right here at home.”
