Lufburrow & Company (LufCo) plans to open a new microelectronics R&D and manufacturing facility in Aberdeen, Maryland. The defense and space manufacturer will establish operations at the former Battelle Eastern Science and Technology Center.
The company expects the project to create 120 full-time jobs.
Based in Maryland, LufCo specializes in mission-critical systems engineering and strategic innovation. The company supports a wide range of clients, including the Department of Defense, various state and federal agencies, private companies and nonprofits.
“LufCo’s mission is to empower warfighters with actionable technologies and tools required to dominate the evolving battlespace,” CEO Heather Couvillon Lufburrow said.
To assist with project costs, the Maryland Department of Commerce looks to approve a $600,000 conditional loan through Advantage Maryland. Additionally, the Harford County Office of Economic Development will provide a $60,000 grant to help the company complete infrastructure upgrades at the project site. LufCo is also eligible for various state and local tax credits, including the Job Creation Tax Credit and the Enterprise Zone Tax Credit.
