GE Aerospace plans to invest nearly $1 billion in its U.S. factories and supply chain to strengthen manufacturing and increase the use of innovative new parts and materials needed for the future of flight. This new investment is nearly double last year’s commitment and will help increase engine safety, quality, and delivery, benefitting more than two dozen communities across 16 states. The company also announced it will hire around 5,000 U.S. workers this year, including both manufacturing and engineering roles.
“Investing in manufacturing and innovation is more critical than ever for the future of our industry and the communities where we operate,” said H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., Chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace. “We are committed to helping our customers modernize and expand their fleets while scaling technologies that will truly define the future of flight. Together, this will keep the United States at the forefront of aerospace leadership ” , he added.
