Pratt & Whitney will invest US$12.5 million into its North Berwick, Maine facility, expanding its Pratt & Whitney GTFTM 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.
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.
The transformation will consist of upgrades to the current space, increasing efficiencies to help minimize disruption to the current flow of operations and allowing for a seamless transition as the facility takes on a new role.
