CHANTILLY, Va., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) today highlighted its delivery of integrated industrial base modernization and advanced manufacturing solutions that are strengthening national security, enabling global infrastructure resilience, and accelerating delivery of mission-critical capabilities across defense and commercial markets.
As demand intensifies to modernize aging infrastructure and scale production of critical capabilities, Parsons delivers integrated, end-to-end solutions that transform how industrial capacity is built, modernized, and sustained. By combining deep engineering expertise, advanced technologies, and global program delivery, the company enables customers to expand production, strengthen supply chains, and deliver operational capability in real time.
“Industrial base modernization is no longer a future priority; it’s an immediate operational requirement,” said Martin Boson, president of Engineered Systems for Parsons. “We are helping redefine how the defense industrial base is modernized, integrating advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, and digital capabilities to rapidly scale production, improve readiness, and deliver mission-critical capacity for today’s and tomorrow’s threats.”
Parsons differentiates through a fully integrated delivery model that unifies planning, engineering, program and construction management, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, and environmental solutions expertise into a single approach. This enables the company to deliver complete industrial ecosystems rather than standalone facilities, accelerating timelines, reducing risk, and ensuring mission success. By leveraging capabilities across both its Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure segments, Parsons bridges traditionally siloed markets and delivers mission-aligned solutions at scale.
“Industrial base modernization requires more than expanding production; it demands the infrastructure, energy, and systems that sustain it,” said Mark Fialkowski, president of Infrastructure North America for Parsons. “We are delivering integrated solutions across critical infrastructure, from data centers and energy systems to industrial development, to help our customers strengthen resilience, enable economic growth, and build the industrial ecosystems needed to support both national security and commercial demands.”
Parsons’ capabilities span the full spectrum of defense industrial base modernization priorities, from modernizing Army munitions and ammunition facilities to upgrading legacy infrastructure across depots, arsenals, and manufacturing plants. This is demonstrated by the company’s growing role in the U.S. Army’s Organic Industrial Base, including a
The company also delivers complex energetics and specialized facilities, as demonstrated by the Blue Grass Chemical Weapons Stockpile Destruction Project, where Parsons played a central role in the design, construction, operation, and closure of the facility that safely eliminated the nation’s remaining chemical weapons stockpile in support of critical national security objectives. This legacy chemical demilitarization expertise reflects Parsons’ ability to execute highly complex, high-consequence industrial programs requiring advanced safety, regulatory, environmental, and operational expertise.
Beyond the United States, Parsons is executing large-scale industrial and infrastructure programs globally. In the Middle East, the company is advancing economic diversification and industrial growth through initiatives such as the Al Karaana Special Economic Zone in Qatar. Our long record of developing large industrial cities and special economic zones in Saudi Arabia, dating back to the 1970s, such as Jazan and Yanbu Industrial Cities, enables integrated development and long-term resilience. Parsons also delivers mission-critical data center infrastructure across the region to support AI, digital transformation, and secure operations, while strengthening supply chains tied to critical minerals and advanced manufacturing.
In parallel, Parsons is advancing high-tech manufacturing ecosystems, including semiconductor-related infrastructure that strengthens domestic and allied production capacity and enables more resilient supply chains through critical minerals sourcing, processing, and distribution.
The company further integrates digital engineering, environmental remediation, and critical infrastructure protection to modernize legacy industrial sites and enable next-generation manufacturing. By combining lifecycle optimization, regulatory alignment, and mission-critical cybersecurity and physical protection, the company delivers resilient, high-performance facilities designed for sustained operations in complex and contested environments. Its program advisory expertise, including long-standing support to the Department of Energy and the Department of War, helps translate evolving mission requirements into executable infrastructure investments that strengthen the full industrial ecosystem from production through distribution.
Parsons also delivers the critical infrastructure that powers and sustains industrial capacity, including energy and microgrid solutions and industrial water and wastewater systems. In addition, the company is also advancing nuclear energy solutions critical to powering next-generation industrial capacity and strengthening energy resilience. The integrated energy capabilities are delivered across the full lifecycle, supporting both national security missions and commercial energy infrastructure, including energy-intensive industries such as advanced manufacturing and data centers.
These capabilities extend across North America, the Middle East, and other key markets, including Canada, where Parsons supports infrastructure and industrial development aligned with national growth and resource priorities. This global reach, combined with deep technical expertise, positions Parsons to deliver consistent, high-impact outcomes across diverse operational environments.
Demand for industrial base modernization continues to accelerate, driven by geopolitical competition, supply chain vulnerabilities, and significant government investment in munitions production, advanced manufacturing, and critical infrastructure. Parsons is directly aligned with these priorities, helping customers respond to urgent operational needs while building long-term resilience.
With decades of experience delivering complex industrial and infrastructure programs, Parsons continues to enable the next generation of scalable, resilient, and secure industrial capacity, delivering capability at the speed and scale today’s missions demand.
