Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, plans to invest $25 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Niepołomice, Poland. The expansion is intended to add capacity for producing complex tubular assemblies for commercial and military engine components.
The Niepołomice site is expected to become operational in 2028, with the expanded operation creating more than 120 jobs. The company said the project would help meet demand for commercial and military engines.
Pratt & Whitney said the Niepołomice facility already provides precision components for multiple engine types, including the Pratt & Whitney GTF engine powering commercial passenger aircraft, the PW800 powering business jets, and the F135 powering all variants of the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft. The company said the expanded facility would continue manufacturing complex engine components.
The investment is supported by the Polish government through the Polish Investment Zone Programme. The company also referenced a separately announced $100 million investment in Rzeszow, Poland, which it said is increasing production capacity and adding advanced capabilities for processing isothermally forged parts for the GTF, F135 and F100 engines.
“Poland plays a vital role as a key hub in Pratt & Whitney's global engine production, a commitment further strengthened by our $125 million investment in facilities this year,” said Dariusz Stopa, general manager, Pratt & Whitney in Niepołomice. “Our employees in Niepołomice manufacture high-precision engine components that support commercial and military aircraft around the world. Growing this team will increase our ability to meet global demand for advanced aircraft engines.”
