Site will add more than 120 jobs and increase production capacity for commercial and military engine components

NIEPOLOMICE, Poland, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt & Whitney, an RTX (NYSE:RTX) business, is investing $25 million (PLN 95 million) to expand its manufacturing facility in Niepołomice, Poland, which is dedicated to producing complex tubular assemblies for commercial and military engines. The expanded site is expected to become operational in 2028 creating more than 120 jobs and will help meet growing demand for commercial and military engines.

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.

"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 investment is supported by the Polish government through the Polish Investment Zone Programme. The site's growth complements the recently announced $100 million investment in Pratt & Whitney's facilities in Rzeszow, Poland, which is also increasing production capacity and adding advanced capabilities for processing isothermally forged parts for the GTF, F135 and F100 engines.

Poland represents RTX's largest investment and employee base outside the United States, with more than 9,500 employees across its Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon businesses in-country. Pratt & Whitney's sites in Poland provide advanced manufacturing and technology development capabilities for commercial and military engines, turboprops and auxiliary power units. This includes the manufacture of complex engine components such as the GTF fan drive gear system, F100 static structures and critical F135 parts.
