CoAspire Manassas Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: January 6, 2026

Less than one year after launching operations in Manassas, CoAspire is already expanding both its footprint and workforce, underscoring the City’s growing momentum as a center for advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and defense innovation.

Founded in 2013, CoAspire is a Northern Virginia-based prime and subcontractor serving the defense and aerospace industries. The company develops products including the Rapidly Adaptable Affordable Cruise Missile (RAACM) while also providing professional services, consulting, and information technology support to federal agencies and industry partners.

What began in the 30,000-square-foot former Georator facility has quickly evolved into a growing campus. CoAspire is expanding into neighboring space while also operating an additional facility in the City focused on specialized technical production and manufacturing processes.

CoAspire has grown to more than 120 employees, with approximately half of its workforce based in Manassas. The company continues to recruit engineers, technicians, manufacturing specialists, quality professionals, and production support staff. These opportunities align directly with the region’s workforce pipeline, from Manassas City Public Schools’ Career and Technical Education programs and hands-on learning at Osbourn High School to technical training at Northern Virginia Community College and advanced engineering talent emerging from George Mason University’s Science and Technology Campus.

CoAspire’s expansion, alongside Micron’s continued growth, highlights a defining strength of Manassas: a concentration of advanced manufacturing and engineering employers that continues to position the City as one of Northern Virginia’s premier destinations for high-wage technical careers and innovation.
