Aspetto, a Virginia-based defense technology company, will relocate and expand its headquarters in Stafford County, creating 98 new jobs.

Governor Glenn Youngkin announced today that Aspetto, Inc., a Virginia-based manufacturer of tactical gear and provider of cybersecurity and IT services for defense agencies, will relocate and expand its corporate headquarters in Stafford County. The company will lease a 5,300-square-foot office space and adjacent 3,000-square-foot manufacturing warehouse to consolidate and expand its operations, creating 98 new jobs.

Aspetto's decision to expand its headquarters operation in Stafford County reinforces Virginia's position as a leader in both defense manufacturing and cybersecurity. Governor Youngkin stated that this homegrown Virginia company has successfully evolved to meet the changing needs of defense agencies, and their continued investment in the Commonwealth demonstrates the strength of Virginia's technology and manufacturing talent pool.

Founded in Fredericksburg and operating in Virginia for 16 years, Aspetto started as a bespoke suit brand before manufacturing high-performance tactical products and diversifying into cybersecurity and information technology consulting for defense agencies. The company's expansion will support recently awarded contracts while maintaining its commitment to designing and manufacturing tactical products.

Aspetto President and CEO Abbas Haider expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from Governor Youngkin's office and their partners in Virginia, whose commitment to business growth helped make this possible. Haider stated that this move strengthens their foundation, fuels their mission, and positions them to drive even greater innovation in the defense industry.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Stafford County and the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance to secure the project for Virginia. Funding and services to support the company's employee recruitment and training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
