$58M HQ Expansion Planned By Tampa Defense Manufacturer

The expansion is expected to add more high-skill manufacturing jobs to Hillsborough County’s workforce.

“We’re grateful to Tampa Brass & Aluminum for creating more rewarding career opportunities for Hillsborough County residents,” Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan, chair of the Board of County Commissioners, said in a statement.

Hagan said the project demonstrates the county’s appeal to manufacturers working in defense and other advanced industries.

Archie Collins, president and CEO of Tampa Electric and FY2026 chair of the Tampa Bay Economic Development Council, said TBA’s investment reflects the diversity of the county’s manufacturing sector.

“Tampa Brass & Aluminum’s expansion is a great example of the strength and diversity of Hillsborough County’s manufacturing sector,” Collins said in a statement.
