The company, which has operated in Columbus for about three decades, said it is retrofitting and installing new equipment to handle maintenance on its “PurePower Geared Turbofan” engine. Pratt also has an aircraft blade forging facility and another operation called Precision Components International on the site in east Columbus.

“Pratt & Whitney has been committed to Columbus, Ga., for the past 30 years, having provided thousands of jobs for our residents and tremendous corporate support to our community,” said Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson. “We believe with today’s significant investment announcement that they will be providing more opportunities to our city and region for the next 30 years.”

Brian Anderson, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce, also applauded the announcement by Pratt & Whitney.

“We knew this new engine could mean additional opportunities for the Columbus facility, so we worked diligently to make sure we were a preferred location for the repair work we knew would be necessary as they rolled out the first of what will be thousands of Geared Turbofan engines,” he said.

Pratt & Whitney employs about 1,100 people at its sprawling complex at 8801 Macon Road, along with a satellite facility it opened in 2014 in Muscogee Technology Park, a short distance from the mother plant.
