GE Aerospace is allocating nearly $32 million to upgrade its Rutland, Vermont facility as part of a $1 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing and suppliers in 2025. The Rutland funding will be used for new machines, upgrades to existing equipment, precision tools, and infrastructure improvements to support the production of components for commercial and military aircraft engines.
The investment aims to enhance manufacturing capabilities for narrowbody and widebody aircraft, military helicopters, and fighter jets. Additionally, part of the funding will go towards utility upgrades in the main building.
Last year, the GE Aerospace Foundation contributed $200,000 to Stafford Technical Center in Rutland to purchase advanced manufacturing equipment for student training. The company has also announced plans to hire approximately 5,000 workers nationwide in manufacturing and engineering roles this year.
GE Aerospace CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. emphasised the importance of investing in manufacturing to modernise aircraft fleets and maintain U.S. leadership in aerospace innovation.
