"Aircraft engine supplier GE Aviation plans to invest $105 million into its operations in Asheville, creating 131 jobs to support its new technology, machinery and additional equipment.
The Evendale, Ohio-based company said Thursday the investment made this year will help accommodate an uptick in local production of ceramic matrix composite components for jet engines. It also is expect to assist in creating increased capacity in its legacy nickel alloy rotating parts.
