"We are creating a new production department for the most critical, most heavily loaded components of aviation engines," said Piotr Owsicki, president of Pratt & Whitney Poland.

The facility will serve both civilian and military aviation, including the F-35 fighter jet, and is expected to be fully operational by early 2028.
