Blue Origin Reports Nearly 4,000 Brevard Employees as Florida Footprint More Than Doubles

Blue Origin said on September 29, 2025 that it employs nearly 4,000 people in Brevard County and has invested over $2.3 billion with 500 suppliers in Florida, in a post on the company's site. Its manufacturing and operations footprint has more than doubled in eight years to 11 sites across Brevard and Orange counties.

What Blue Origin Reported

The 11 sites include Merritt Island, Cape Canaveral, Titusville, Melbourne, and Orlando. The company puts its investment in Florida facilities and infrastructure at more than $3 billion, including the rebuild of Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It says the expansion is driven by customer demand and its work with NASA on lunar landers.

Lunar Plant 1, in Rocket Park near Kennedy Space Center, had newly opened and houses assembly, integration, and testing for the Blue Moon Mark 2 lander. The company called it one of three new buildings to open or start construction in 2025. A chemical processing facility was due that fall, along with an expansion of the main assembly building for two more automated fiber placement machines used on New Glenn fairings and adapters.
