Rolls-Royce announced plans to invest up to £60m in its facility in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, creating a new Centre of Competence (CoC) for the manufacture of aerofoils and a new location for the manufacture of mainline engine shafts. The new CoC will manufacture an extensive range of aerofoils, including turbine and compressor components, for Rolls-Royce engines that are no longer in high volume production, such as the Adour and BR715. This requires a flexible workforce with a high degree of specialist knowledge. “The new location for the manufacture of mainline shafts will produce components that sit in the core of all Rolls-Royce aero engines. The new location for the manufacture of shafts will provide Rolls-Royce with capacity needed to deliver on our multi-billion pound order book. It complements our existing facility in Derby and capacity in our external supply chain,” said Mike Mosley, Rolls-Royce, Chief Operating Officer – Supply Chain. This investment will potentially mitigate the impact of the job reductions announced earlier this year in Inchinnan as part of the Aerospace restructuring programme.
