RTX's Pratt & Whitney invests $100 million to increase production capacity, add advanced capabilities in Poland

Company will expand operations in Rzeszów to support growing demand for commercial and military engines

Katowice, Poland April 22, 2026

Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, is investing $100 million in its facility in Rzeszów to expand production capacity, add advanced capabilities and meet growing global demand for its commercial and military engines, including the Pratt & Whitney GTF™, F135, and F100 engines.

At its Rzeszów site, Pratt & Whitney will construct a new facility that will house specialized capabilities for processing isothermally forged parts, including heat treatment, sonic machining and inspection operations. This expansion follows and supports the recently announced $200 million investment in a seventh isothermal forging press at Pratt & Whitney's Columbus Forge facility in Georgia, U.S. These capital projects, expected to be fully operational by 2028, will enable a 30% increase in output of critical engine parts, such as rotating compressor and turbine disks.

"This investment reflects our continued commitment to increase production capacity for our customers and deliver more, faster," said Piotr Owsicki, general manager of Pratt & Whitney in Rzeszów. "Expanding our presence in Poland allows us to build the strategic capabilities needed to produce key technologies for advanced commercial and military aircraft engines across both current and future platforms."

Poland represents RTX's largest investment and employee base outside the United States, with more than 9,400 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 critical engine components such as the GTF fan drive gear system and F100 static structures and critical F135 parts.
