Defense contractor Duotech cuts ribbon in Huntsville, will create 50 jobs

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Defense contractor Duotech Services recently cut the ribbon on its new 25,000-square-foot facility in Huntsville. 

The $4 million investment will create 50 quality jobs and support Duotech’s expanding role in the test, repair and remanufacture of electronic systems and subsystems on defense platforms. The facility will have a special focus on missile and missile defense support.


“Protecting our national security and growing our nation’s defense capabilities is a critical aspect of our manufacturing sector and Alabama is proud to add Duotech to our bench of industry innovators,” said Alabama Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair.

“Duotech’s investment here strengthens our position as a global leader in aerospace and defense, brings quality jobs to our citizens and enhances our overall economy. 

“We know Duotech will find in Alabama the workforce, community partners and infrastructure to be successful.” 

Duotech leadership said the company’s capabilities are unique within the Huntsville region. Headquartered in Franklin, N.C., Duotech specializes in mitigating electronic component obsolescence and delivering rapid, cost‑effective repair and sustainment support. By keeping legacy systems mission‑ready, Duotech helps clients reduce downtime, extend platform life and avoid costly replacements.

“Our expansion into Huntsville marks an important and exciting chapter for Duotech,” said Dan Bader, CEO of Duotech Services. “This investment strengthens our ability to support the nation’s defense mission while creating meaningful, high‑quality jobs for the local community. Huntsville’s talent, infrastructure and deep connection to missile and missile defense technology make it the perfect home for this new facility. We’re proud to contribute to the region’s growth and to provide solutions that keep critical systems in the fight.”

Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said that as opportunities evolve across the defense, aerospace and technology sectors, companies are choosing Huntsville for the strength of its workforce and a community defined by innovation and collaboration. 

“Duotech’s decision to expand in Huntsville reflects the confidence industry leaders place in our proven ability to support mission-focused work and sustain long-term growth,” Battle said.
