阿肯色州迎22亿美元弹药制造园区 派恩布拉夫将增近400个高薪岗位
韩华防务美国公司（Hanwha Defense USA）9月21日宣布，将在陆军派恩布拉夫兵工厂（Pine Bluff Arsenal）建设一座弹药制造园区，资本投资达22亿美元，预计七年内创造近400个就业岗位，平均时薪超过50美元。园区将生产155毫米火炮发射药与底排增程装置等关键弹药部件；公司的行政总部已在当地启用，园区用地租赁已于今年1月完成中标。这是美国陆军推动炮弹产能扩充与供应链本土化的一部分：派恩布拉夫兵工厂长期承担军方弹药与化工生产任务，韩华的入驻被视为对这一基地工业能力的再投资。州长桑德斯（Sarah Huckabee Sanders）对项目表示欢迎，称其将为阿肯色人带来高薪制造岗位。韩华方面表示，园区将分阶段建设投产，并与陆军及供应链伙伴密切协作。对阿肯色州东南部而言，这笔投资是近年来规模最大的制造业项目之一，预计还将带动周边配套企业与服务业的就业机会。（来源：Hanwha Defense USA 公司通稿及阿肯色州当地媒体报道）
Arkansas Lands $2.2 Billion Ammunition Campus at Pine Bluff Arsenal With Nearly 400 Jobs Planned
Hanwha Defense USA announced on September 21 that it will build an ammunition manufacturing campus at the U.S. Army's Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas, a $2.2 billion capital investment expected to create nearly 400 jobs over seven years at an average hourly wage above $50. The campus will produce key munitions components, including 155mm artillery propelling charges and base-bleed units; the company's administrative headquarters is already operating locally, and the campus lease was awarded in January. The project forms part of the Army's push to expand domestic artillery ammunition capacity and strengthen its supply chain, and the investment is seen as a renewed commitment to Pine Bluff Arsenal, which has long handled munitions and chemical production for the military. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders welcomed the project, saying it will bring high-paying manufacturing jobs to Arkansans. Hanwha said the campus will be built and brought online in phases, working closely with the Army and supply-chain partners. For southeastern Arkansas, it ranks among the largest manufacturing investments in recent years and is expected to spur additional jobs at nearby suppliers and service businesses.
