GE Aerospace to invest more than €78 million in European manufacturing sites

US-based aviation engine provider GE Aerospace plans to invest more than €78 million ($84 million) in its manufacturing sites across Europe during 2025.

This investment will aim to increase overall capacity, expand key facilities, and ensure quality for both commercial and defence customers.

Additionally, it will further scale the production of next-generation components made from advanced materials.

Investments will be made across five European countries, equipping suppliers with specialised tools and customised dies to ensure the use of the latest manufacturing technology, further reducing defects.

Italy will receive €55.6 million ($59.9 million), Poland will receive €11.6 million ($12.5 million), the Czech Republic will receive €5.4 million ($5.82), Romania will receive €2.3 million ($2.47 million), and the UK will get €3.3 million ($3.55 million) in funding.

“This new significant investment will ensure that we continue to meet the evolving needs of the aerospace industry in Europe,” said Riccardo Procacci, president and CEO, propulsion and additive technologies at GE Aerospace. “It is also evidence of our strong commitment to supporting the communities and economies where we operate.”  

This new investment follows GE’s investment last year of €64 million ($69 million) investment in manufacturing and broader €122 million ($131.5 million) investment in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and component repair facilities in Europe.

The company also said that over 500 jobs will be open across sites in Europe in 2025.
