Pratt & Whitney, an RTX unit, to invest $25 million in precision parts expansion in Niepołomice, Poland

Pratt & Whitney will invest $25 million (PLN 95 million) to expand its manufacturing site in Niepołomice, Poland, a facility focused on complex tubular assemblies for commercial and military engines. The expansion, slated to be operational in 2028, is expected to create more than 120 jobs and increase capacity to meet rising demand.

The Niepołomice operation already supplies precision components for multiple engine families, including the Pratt & Whitney GTF engine used on commercial passenger aircraft, the PW800 for business jets and the F135 that powers all variants of the F-35 Lightning II.

“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.”

The project is supported by the Polish Investment Zone Programme and aligns with a recently announced $100 million investment in Pratt & Whitney’s facilities in Rzeszow, aimed at expanding capacity and adding advanced capabilities for processing isothermally forged parts for the GTF, F135 and F100 engines.

Poland is RTX’s largest investment and employment base outside the United States, with more than 9,500 employees across Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon. Pratt & Whitney’s Polish sites provide advanced manufacturing and technology development for commercial and military engines, turboprops and auxiliary power units, including production of the GTF fan drive gear system, F100 static structures and critical F135 components.
