PHOENIX — A Chandler-based defense and security company is expanding and relocating its headquarters in the city.

ArmorWorks announced Monday it has signed a lease for 70,000 square feet at the Lotus Project complex near Kyrene Road and Loop 202.

The expansion will allow the company to increase its workforce from 125 employees to 210.

“We are thrilled that ArmorWorks selected Lotus Project for its new corporate headquarters and additional manufacturing operation,” Sven Tustin, senior vice president of Conor Commercial Real Estate, the complex’s developer, said in a press release.

“ArmorWorks is a perfect example of the type of business for which Lotus Project was built, accommodating advanced manufacturing requirements with state-of-the-art design.”

The company, currently based at Chandler Boulevard and 56th Street, designs and produces products including armor, seating systems and payload transport vehicles.

It will begin engineering, manufacturing and research and development operations at the new facility in March.
