Introduction:

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, is investing $100 million in its Rzeszów facility to expand production capacity, introduce advanced capabilities and meet growing global demand for its commercial and military engines, including the GTF, F135 and F100 programmes.

Features:

The company will build a new facility at the site, equipped with specialised capabilities for processing isothermally forged components. These include heat treatment, sonic machining and inspection operations.

The expansion complements a previously announced $200 million investment in a seventh isothermal forging press at Pratt & Whitney’s Columbus Forge plant in Georgia, United States. Both projects are expected to be fully operational by 2028 and are set to increase output of critical engine components, such as rotating compressor and turbine discs, by around 30%.

Poland is the largest investment location for RTX outside the United States, with more than 9,400 employees across its Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon businesses.

Pratt & Whitney’s operations in Poland support advanced manufacturing and technology development for commercial and military engines, turboprops and auxiliary power units. These facilities also produce key components, including GTF fan drive gear systems, F100 static structures and critical parts for the F135 engine.
