An interesting aside is that one of the main reasons the space shuttle, and by extension the SLS used for Artemis II, uses solid rocket boosters is as a bit of graft for that Utah AP plant.

There's a lesser-known similar situation with ESA's Ariane's side boosters. They share tech with France's M51 sub-launched nuclear missiles, they're both made by ArianeGroup.
