Cubic Corporation - GATR Expansion in Huntsville

4/30/2018

 
oday we celebrated with Cubic Corporation as they expanded their GATR Technologies facility, which supports GATR's growing operations and combines the development, engineering, production, and administrative functions in one central location.
​
GATR started with two men in the back of a flower shop in Huntsville and now has over 150 employees in almost 100,000 square feet in Cummings Research Park. Cubic Corporation, which acquired GATR Technologies in 2016, assists with defense and intelligence in the public and private sector. (Recall that GATR Technology helped get Huntsville and Madison County back "on the grid" after the April 2011 tornadoes).Thank you, Cubic Corporation, for continuing to invest in the Huntsville community. Your innovative contributions to our economy and national security are invaluable!

It was a joy to speak with Dr. John Ed Mathison. Alabama Methodists and/or folks from Montgomery may remember him as pastor of Frazier UMC for 36 years. After his presentation, we spoke about his studies at Princeton, full of buildings dedicated to Einstein.
