Onshore Technologies Expands U.S. Manufacturing Footprint With New Hampshire Facility

Salem operation strengthens domestic production capacity for space, aerospace, robotics, defense, and other quality-critical industries

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Onshore Technologies, Inc., an American contract manufacturer headquartered in Torrance, California, is announcing the opening of a new manufacturing operation in Salem, New Hampshire. The expansion strengthens the company's U.S. manufacturing footprint, brings production closer to customers across the Northeast, and supports growing industry demands for resilient domestic supply chains. The new facility is fully operational and supports several industry partners already.

Founded in 1992, Onshore Technologies manufactures custom electrical interconnects, wire harnesses, cable assemblies, electromechanical assemblies, and related manufacturing solutions for demanding, quality-critical applications. The company supports programs across the product lifecycle, from early-stage engineering and prototyping through production.

The 10,000 sq ft Salem facility provides advanced electrical and electro-mechanical manufacturing capabilities for customers in the space, aerospace, robotics, defense, medical, and industrial automation sectors. These markets require high-reliability, responsive engineering and problem solving, and the ability to transition complex products efficiently from development to scalable production.

The expansion is being led under the direction of Mark Wilkinson, who has served as Onshore's CEO since 2015. During his tenure, the company has invested in advanced manufacturing capabilities, expanded into emerging technology markets, and strengthened its position as a domestic manufacturing partner for quality-critical and mission-critical applications.

Experienced Leadership for the Salem Operation

Joe Wilkinson has been appointed executive vice president and general manager of the Salem operation. He brings decades of experience in manufacturing, automation, product development, and biotechnology. Throughout his career, Joe has led engineering, manufacturing, and operational initiatives for high-growth organizations, with particular expertise in scaling advanced manufacturing systems, optimizing supply chains, and bringing new products to market.

"This facility represents more than geographic expansion; it is an investment in advanced American manufacturing," said Joe Wilkinson. "By combining customer-focused engineering, automation expertise, and experienced operational leadership, we are creating an environment where innovation can move efficiently from concept and development into reliable, scalable production."

Danny Mendez will serve as head of engineering for the Salem facility. Mendez brings more than 15 years of experience in automation, motion control, engineering, and manufacturing leadership. His background includes developing and implementing automated manufacturing systems and engineering solutions designed to improve quality, efficiency, and scalability. His expertise will help Onshore support complex customer programs and advance high-reliability manufacturing processes.

Bill McGowan joins the Salem leadership team as head of operations. Previously with TruForm Precision Manufacturing, McGowan brings extensive experience in manufacturing processes, production management, and operational excellence. He will oversee the development of efficient, scalable operating systems as the facility ramps production and grows its customer base.

"Manufacturers in mission-critical industries need domestic partners that can combine technical expertise, operational agility, and dependable execution," said Mark Wilkinson, chief executive officer of Onshore Technologies. "Our investment in New Hampshire expands our ability to meet that need while bringing us closer to customers throughout the Northeast. With Joe, Danny, and Bill leading the operation, we have assembled a team with the experience and technical depth to solve complex manufacturing challenges and support customers at every stage of growth."

The New Hampshire expansion builds on Onshore's growth in aerospace, defense, medical technology, and other advanced-technology markets. It also reflects the broader movement toward reshoring and regionalizing critical manufacturing operations to improve supply-chain resilience, accelerate product development, and reduce production risk.

Combining Advanced Manufacturing With Responsive Partnership

Onshore's growth strategy centers on combining advanced manufacturing systems with accessible, experienced technical support. The company continues to invest in automation and digital manufacturing technologies that improve quality, productivity, and production visibility, while maintaining direct customer access to engineering and operations professionals.

This approach is designed to help customers address technical requirements, production schedules, supply-chain challenges, and changing program demands with greater speed and accountability. Through collaborative engineering, responsive program management, and disciplined execution, Onshore helps customers transition complex products from development to production while maintaining the precision and reliability that their markets require.

The Salem facility extends that model to customers throughout the Northeast and expands Onshore's ability to support both emerging companies and established manufacturers. The operation will focus on industries in which manufacturing quality, product reliability, supply-chain resilience, and speed to market are critical—including space technology, aerospace, robotics, defense, medical technology, biotechnology, and industrial automation.
