Beyond Gravity Expands Capacity in Zurich

Zurich – Beyond Gravity has doubled its space for the production of mechanisms to align the solar wings of satellites. The aerospace company now produces 200 units per year instead of 36. If demand in the USA continues to grow, expansion is also planned in Florida.

(CONNECT) The demand for mechanisms for the alignment of solar wings for satellites is growing. Beyond Gravity has therefore doubled its production space for these components in Zurich, according to a press release. The federal space company is now producing 200 of these units instead of the previous 36. More units have already been delivered this year than in the three previous years combined.

Beyond Gravity is already working on the next generation of alignment mechanisms. The solar wings should then be able to be aligned along two axes and thus capture more energy.

The company sells its components primarily in Europe and the USA. If demand in the USA continues to grow, Beyond Gravity also intends to expand capacity at its plant in Titusville, Florida.

Beyond Gravity employs around 1800 people at twelve locations. In addition to Switzerland, it also produces in Finland, Austria, Portugal, Sweden and the USA. In 2024, it generated sales of 359 million francs. ce/ug
