NIEPOLOMICE, Poland, Sep 8, 2026 – Pratt & Whitney is investing $25 million (PLN 95 million) to expand its manufacturing facility in Niepołomice, Poland, which produces complex tubular assemblies for commercial and military engines. The expanded site is expected to begin operations in 2028 and create more than 120 jobs.
The Niepołomice plant supplies components for the Pratt & Whitney GTF engine for commercial passenger aircraft, the PW800 for business jets, and the F135, which powers all variants of the F-35 Lightning II fighter.
“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 Program. It follows a previously announced $100 million investment at Pratt & Whitney’s Rzeszow, Poland, facility, which is increasing production capacity and adding capability to process isothermally forged parts for the GTF, F135 and F100 engines.
RTX employs more than 9,500 people in Poland across its Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon businesses in the country. Pratt & Whitney’s Polish sites handle manufacturing and technology development for commercial and military engines, turboprops and auxiliary power units. This includes the GTF fan drive gear system, F100 static structures and F135 parts.
