Denver, CO (November, 2021) Beehive Industries, American manufacturer for aerospace and defense, today announced the acquisition of Volunteer Aerospace (“Volunteer”), a Tennessee-based additive and advanced manufacturing provider. The purchase will support Beehive Industries’ vision of reindustrializing America by scaling the company’s core capabilities, employee base, and resources.
