There's MFG, a producer of wind turbines; 3M, a manufacturer of allergen defense filters, and Hub City, Inc., who just celebrated 125 years of business, that produces... well, they produce the parts needed in equipment throughout many different industries. But quietly on the other side of a chain-link fence sits a nondescript manufacturer not many know about. Whether you live in Aberdeen, the surrounding area or just about anywhere else in South Dakota, it's almost a sure bet this next one you may have never even heard of: BAE Systems. BAE Systems is an international defense, security and aerospace company that has had a facility in the Aberdeen community since 1985. The BAE Systems site in Aberdeen, believe it or not, produces missile canisters for the United States Navy. You read that right—missile canisters, for the U.S. Navy, right here in Aberdeen, S.D. So how have they flown so far under the radar for this long? Sarah Mann, plant manager, says it's simple: "BAE Systems isn't a widely publicized company because our customers aren't your average cus- FULL-TIME REPORTER The Yankton (S.D.) Daily Press & Dakotan — an award-winning, six-day daily located along the banks of the Missouri River and near Lewis and Clark Lake in southeastern South Dakota — is seeking applicants for the position of general assignment reporter. Some page designing (InDesign) is also involved. Applicants must have strong writing and reporting skills. Page design skills, photography skills and video/social media experience are helpful. Send resumes and writing samples to: Mr. Kelly Hertz, Editor Yankton Press & Dakotan 319 Walnut, Yankton, SD 57078 or email kelly.hertz@yankton.net tomers," Mann laughed. "What we're producing isn't sold in a store, it's not a piece of equipment that can be replaced—we simply do not have a conventional customer-base, and I think that's why people don't really know about us.” In 1985, the plant was established in Aberdeen and was meant mostly for experimental purposes. By Desert Storm, the plant was in full operation, supplying U.S. Navy cruisers, along with U.S. allies, with missile canisters. "It's state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind manufacturing," Mann said. "During 'down-time' we find ways to train and educate our staff on better, more effi- cient production. Manufacturing, as an industry, continues to evolve, with the use of a lot of robotics and automation. While we utilize and value the hard skills, we spend a lot of time honing soft skills, too." BAE Systems in Aberdeen employs close to 80 people—many of whom have a background in welding, machining and engineering, including Mann who is a manufacturing engineer by degree. Included in those employee numbers are both retired and current servicemen. Demographics within the Aberdeen location break down to mostly men; however, there are a few women working in various positions throughout the facility. The average age is right around 50, and the average years of service with BAE Systems is almost 20. "It's an enjoyable place to work," Mann said. "We're starting to see a reignition of interest in the industry, because it's a real opportunity to be involved in a company that's creating something really cool. Our teams are self-sufficient and self-managed. We have excellent employee engagement where personal and professional growth is a top priority. If you want to move up in our company, with the proper training and team support, there's really no limit." BAE Systems continues to produce new missile canisters, because as you can imagine, after a missile blast, there's little-to-no functioning canister left so it must be replaced. "We do get canisters back, and we have a team 1315 Drivers 1345 Manufacturing that inspects, neutralizes and renews them,” Mann Art's Garbage Service GREAT PAY & BENEFITS! said.
