Special Aerospace Services Expands Arvada Facility

ARVADA, CO — An aerospace engineering and manufacturing company has expanded its Arvada complex.

Special Aerospace Services, which specializes in tactical engineering and precision manufacturing, has made new investments in its facilities to "enhance its ability to undertake classified work and help strengthen the aerospace supply chain," the company said.

The Arvada expansion includes a new 2,500-square-foot assembly bay and machining cell that enhances the company's production and prototyping capabilities.

Heather and Timothy Bulk co-founded Special Aerospace Services in Boulder in 2007. The pair then created the SAS Flight Factory in Arvada, which specializes in design, machining, prototyping, 3D printing and additive manufacturing. The company serves aerospace, defense and a variety of commercial industries.

“We wanted to increase our investment in integrating vertically in response to multiple clients wanting us to perform manufacturing and assembly work on their most critical systems," Tim Bulk said in a statement released Aug. 17.

"Several have asked SAS Flight Factory to perform major assembly of classified subsystems and increase value on various subsystems through analysis, design, and manufacturing. Our investments respond to this demand and will allow our critical clients to access the facility to collaborate and inspect their hardware. We also look forward to being able to perform this work faster and in a more cost-effective manner than our competitors.”

The Bulks created the Who Dreams Wins Foundation, which provides scholarships, technology, training and tools to progress STEM education.
