ASG Aerospace has welcomed GE Aerospace’s €110 million investment across its European manufacturing sites, describing it as a clear vote of confidence in both the aerospace sector and its supply chain.
The investment — spanning additive manufacturing, advanced machining, testing capability and workforce development — comes at a time when production rates are accelerating.
More than 1,000 new roles are expected to be created across Europe in 2026. Alongside major upgrades to facilities and equipment, GE Aerospace is also investing in skills and training, strengthening long-term capability across the region.
For ASG Aerospace, the announcement signals a broader transition from recovery to sustained growth.
“It is great to see GE Aerospace continuing to invest at scale in its European operations,” said Simon Weston, Group CEO of ASG Aerospace. “As a key customer, this investment in advanced manufacturing, capacity and skills sends a strong signal across the aerospace supply chain.”
The geographic spread of the investment — across Italy, Poland, the UK, the Czech Republic and Romania — underscores the importance of a resilient, distributed European manufacturing base, reinforcing the need for strong regional capability and aligned investment.
A core element of the investment is focused on additive manufacturing, alongside enhanced machining and testing capability — areas that are becoming increasingly critical as OEMs look to improve efficiency, reduce weight and increase production resilience.
GE Aerospace’s parallel investment in MRO and component repair — part of a wider $1 billion global programme — further highlights the strength of aftermarket demand, a key driver of activity across the supply chain.
For ASG Aerospace, the message is clear: sustained OEM investment is driving increased confidence, improved planning horizons and continued momentum across the aerospace sector.
Weston concluded: “When a global engine OEM invests at this level — in technology, infrastructure and people — it demonstrates real confidence in the future of aerospace. That confidence flows through the entire supply chain. As a trusted partner, we are well positioned to support that growth.”
As the sector scales production and adopts advanced manufacturing technologies, GE Aerospace’s latest investment marks another step in strengthening a more resilient, capable and forward-looking aerospace ecosystem.
