Redwire has opened a new office in the U.K. to support existing and future programs managed by the Ministry of Defence, or MOD.
What Will the UK Office Support?
The aerospace and defense technology company said Tuesday the new location will provide engineering, program management, logistics and sustainment capabilities to support MOD initiatives. With the expanded U.K. presence, Redwire will grow its local team to enhance its ability to provide real-time support, accelerated integration and localized lifecycle management, ensuring closer alignment with the country’s national security priorities.
In addition, the office will enable closer coordination with British industry partners and government stakeholders, and support lifecycle management and integration activities related to defense programs.
How Does This Move Support Current MOD Programs?
According to Steve Adlich, president of Redwire Defense Tech, the expanded footprint will support the MOD’s Tiquila program and help sustain the operational performance of the Stalker uncrewed aerial vehicle platforms. Redwire has supported U.K. missions for more than a decade, and the new office provides direct access to technical expertise for ongoing operations. The facility will also serve as a regional hub for delivering defense technologies across Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
“Our broadened footprint in the United Kingdom underscores our commitment to supporting the MOD with the world’s most advanced uncrewed aircraft systems and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance technologies,” said Adlich.
Expansion Aligns With Redwire’s Global Strategy
The new U.K. office aligns with Redwire’s broader global growth strategy. As part of its Europe expansion, the company established a presence in Warsaw, Poland, in May 2025 to bolster the country’s domestic space sector. Furthermore, Redwire scaled its U.S. operations in September 2025 by opening the Firestone Rapid Capabilities Facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to support the development of critical space-based defense systems.
