Henry Skornik, project manager based in the Thousand Oaks office of Whittier-based Oltmans, says the new manufacturing facility is being erected on an 8.5-acre site leased from the city by Robinson Helicopter at 2931 Airport Drive at the Torrance Airport. Completion of the building, which is being constructed at a cost of $9 million, is scheduled for the end of the first quarter of 2004.

The company posts annual sales exceeding $100 million and employs approximately 800 workers.Designed by Carlile Coatsworth Architects Inc. of Irvine, the new manufacturing facility for Robinson Helicopter is a concrete tilt-upstructure that will feature 8,100 sf of offices and classrooms, motorized hangar doors that are 25-feet high, designed to open up to the airport and more than 30 feet of minimum interior clearance.
