WARSAW, POLAND-<\/strong> Pratt & Whitney (PW)<\/a> is investing $25 million to expand its facility in Niepo\u0142omice, Poland (NIE), strengthening production of precision components for commercial and military engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion is expected to become operational in 2028 and create more than 120 jobs. The facility produces complex tubular assemblies for the GTF, PW800 and F135 engine programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pratt & Whitney Expands Niepo\u0142omice Engine Production<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pratt & Whitney announced the investment on September 4, 2026, as part of its continued expansion of manufacturing capabilities in Poland<\/a>. The Niepo\u0142omice facility specializes in complex tubular assemblies and other high-precision engine components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The components produced at the site support several major engine programs across Pratt & Whitney’s commercial and military portfolio. These include the GTF family for commercial aircraft, the PW800 family for business jets, and the F135 engine used across all variants of the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $25 million investment will expand the facility’s production capabilities and support additional employment. More than 120 new jobs are expected to be created once the expansion becomes operational in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland Strengthens Role in Pratt & Whitney Manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Niepo\u0142omice project follows a separate $100 million<\/strong> investment announced by Pratt & Whitney in April 2026 for its facility in Rzesz\u00f3w, Poland (RZE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rzesz\u00f3w investment is aimed at expanding production capacity and adding advanced manufacturing capabilities to meet global demand for engine components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the two investments represent $125 million in planned Pratt & Whitney investment in Poland during 2026. The company said the spending reflects the country’s importance to its global engine production network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dariusz Stopa, general manager of Pratt & Whitney in Niepo\u0142omice, said Poland serves as a key hub in the company’s global engine production operations. He also highlighted the role of Niepo\u0142omice employees in manufacturing high-precision components for commercial and military aircraft worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Components Support Commercial and Military Engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Niepo\u0142omice facility produces components for both commercial aviation and defense programs, giving the site a broad role within Pratt & Whitney’s manufacturing network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GTF engine family powers several commercial aircraft programs, while the PW800 is used on business jets. The F135 provides propulsion for all variants of the F-35 Lightning II<\/a>, making its components part of a major military aviation program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By expanding the facility, Pratt & Whitney will increase its ability to manufacture these precision components while adding skilled manufacturing positions in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish Government Supports Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The $25 million project is supported by the Polish government through the Polish Investment Zone Program, which is designed to encourage investment and economic development in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment also adds to RTX’s wider industrial presence in the country. RTX operates through its Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon businesses in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland is RTX’s largest employee base outside the United States, with more than 9,500 employees across the three businesses. The latest Pratt & Whitney investments further expand the company’s manufacturing footprint in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
