[edit] Facilities
ATG has its headquarters at Centennial, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, Colorado. It has two other facilities in the Denver area. These are at Centennial Airport (KAPA) near Centennial, Colorado, with manufacturing facilities at Front Range Airport (KFTG) in neighboring Aurora.
On 23 August 2005, Will Schippers, ATG’s CFO, reported that ATG signed contracts to lease two buildings located at Front Range Airport. “These buildings will be interim facilities until we build permanent production facilities currently planned for 2009.”[2]
ATG is leasing approximately 56,000 square feet (5,200 m²) at Front Range Airport. The first building is a 21,600-square-foot (2,010 m²) facility, and is being used by ATG Flight Operations to manufacture four conforming Javelin aircraft as well as serving as test facility headquarters.
The adjacent building is being used to assemble production aircraft. ATG anticipates production of up to 10 planes at a time in the 34,400-square-foot (3,200 m²) facility. When production reaches full capacity for these facilities, ATG expects to have hired up to 150 new employees.
[edit] Sales
As of 5 November 2007, 153 positions on the waiting list for the ATG Javelin have been reserved.[3]
