Facility to boost production capacity for landing gear systems by nearly 25%
TAJĘCINA, Poland, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Collins Aerospace, a division of RTX (NYSE: RTX), has inaugurated its newly expanded manufacturing facility in Tajęcina, Poland, covering an area of 22,000 square meters. This $69 million expansion is set to enhance production capacity for landing gear systems by almost 25%, catering to both commercial and defense aircraft programs. The expansion will also generate approximately 190 new jobs this year.
Matt Maurer, vice president and general manager of Landing Systems at Collins Aerospace, commented, “Collins is making a long-term investment in both the local workforce and the future of aerospace in the broader Poland ecosystem. Building on the strong foundation established in 2012, this expansion significantly increases critical production capacity, accelerates growth, and strengthens our ability to deliver the high-performance landing gear systems our customers depend on around the world.”
Collins’ advanced landing gear systems are engineered to enhance performance and reduce maintenance needs. The facility in Tajęcina, alongside its Krosno site, produces and supports main, nose, and wing landing gear assemblies.
In a related development, RTX’s Pratt & Whitney has also announced a separate $100 million investment to bolster production capacity at its Rzeszów facility. This initiative will focus on key engine components, including rotating compressor and turbine disks, and is projected to increase output by 30% by 2028 as it addresses rising demand for Pratt & Whitney GTF™, F135, and F100 engines.
With more than 9,400 employees, Poland serves as RTX’s largest employee base and investment footprint outside of the United States. The company has maintained operations in Poland for over 50 years, running nine significant engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and research development facilities in the country, thus supporting both commercial and military programs.
