Skyeton, previously known as Project Odesa, has selected Fayetteville and Cumberland County as the location for its U.S. headquarters and first manufacturing facility in North America. The project will create 162 jobs with an average annual salary of $70,759 and invest $3.4 million in real estate and equipment.
Skyeton currently has production operations in Ukraine, Germany, and Slovakia. Its new Fayetteville facility will support the development and manufacturing of advanced technologies designed to enhance the capabilities of military personnel, allied partners, and first responders. The company will occupy a 28,479-square-foot building within the former Black & Decker site.
“We are thrilled to welcome Project Odesa to Fayetteville and Cumberland County as it establishes its first U.S. manufacturing facility here,” stated City of Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin in a press release. “With the city’s concentration on defense, technology, and healthcare, this is exactly the kind of investment we are working to attract, bringing 162 jobs at an average salary of nearly $71,000 while breathing new life into the former Black & Decker site. My thanks to the State, our community college partners, and the FCEDC for helping bring it home.”…
