During the peak of the Nike SAFEGUARD there were between 3 and 4,000 employees. After WW2 ended, the Western Electric Company took over the plant, which was still a government-owned facility. In the 1950s & 60s, Western Electric manufactured large portions of the Nike Ajax & Hercules surface-to-air missile system at the Burlington plant. © All Rights Reserved
