“We continue to take comprehensive action across the enterprise to adapt to our new market reality and transform our business to be leaner and more sustainable for the future,” Boeing says. “As part of this effort, the important work currently completed at our Advanced Developmental Composites Center will transition to other Boeing facilities, mostly in the Puget Sound.”
