Pratt & Whitney, a division of Raytheon Technologies Corp. (NYSE: RTX) announced it will invest $12.5 million into its North Berwick, Maine facility, expanding its Pratt & Whitney GTF TM maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) network. North Berwick will perform maintenance on high pressure turbine and high pressure compressor modules for the PW1100G-JM engine.
“We’re committed to the continued capability expansion of the network and continue to pursue all opportunities to better support our customer base,” said Joe Sylvestro, vice president of Aftermarket Operations at Pratt & Whitney. “By tapping into the expertise and experience of our North Berwick team, we’re excited to further strengthen our MRO capability.”
This investment bolsters Pratt & Whitney’s global GTF MRO Network and accelerates growth by utilizing the facility’s already existing expertise. The addition of GTF high pressure turbine and high pressure compressor module maintenance at North Berwick benefits GTF operators by reduction of lead-time associated to compressor upgrade and repair.
