RTX’s Collins Aerospace opens expanded Tajęcina plant, targeting nearly 25% more landing-gear capacity

The expansion at Collins Aerospace’s facility in Poland adds 22,000 square meters of manufacturing space and is expected to support both commercial and defense aircraft programs, RTX said June 2.

RTX (NYSE: RTX) said its Collins Aerospace business has opened an expanded landing-gear manufacturing facility in Tajęcina, Poland, a move intended to add nearly 25% to production capacity for landing gear systems used across commercial and defense aircraft. The company positioned the ribbon-cutting as part of a longer-term effort to scale manufacturing while retaining local skills in an aerospace hub that RTX says it has built over decades.

Collins Aerospace’s expansion adds a newly expanded 22,000-square-meter manufacturing facility tied to a $69 million investment. RTX said the added capacity will support landing-gear system production for both “commercial and defense aircraft programs,” and that the site is expected to create approximately 190 new jobs this year.

“Collins is making a long-term investment in both the local workforce and the future of aerospace in the broader Poland ecosystem,” said Matt Maurer, vice president and general manager of Landing Systems at Collins Aerospace. He said the expansion builds on a foundation established in 2012 and is meant to strengthen the company’s ability to deliver landing gear systems customers depend on worldwide.

RTX described the Tajęcina plant as producing and supporting key components of its landing-gear portfolio, including main, nose and wing landing gear assemblies. Landing gear systems are the aircraft structures and mechanisms that deploy to let aircraft take off and land safely, and they are tightly engineered for reliability, safety certifications, and long service life.

In addition to Collins, RTX highlighted related capacity moves within Poland. In its June 2 statement, the company referenced a $100 million Pratt & Whitney investment to expand production capacity at the Rzeszów facility, focused on critical engine components including rotating compressor and turbine disks. RTX said that effort is expected to boost output by 30% and become operational by 2028, tied to demand for Pratt & Whitney GTF, F135 and F100 engines.

RTX also tied the Tajęcina expansion to the broader footprint of its businesses in Poland. The company said Poland represents its largest employee base and investment footprint outside the United States, with more than 9,400 employees across Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon, and it said it operates nine major engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and research-and-development facilities in country.

The company has not specified which exact aircraft programs or contract awards will draw on the added landing-gear capacity, nor did it provide a production ramp schedule beyond saying the facility is now open. It also did not break out the financial impact of the expansion, such as expected revenue, margins, or capitalized costs, in the release.

What to watch next is whether Collins’ hiring and manufacturing throughput at Tajęcina match the “nearly 25%” capacity goal, and how quickly the broader RTX industrial base in Poland continues to add output for both commercial aircraft and defense platforms. In the nearer term, the April-to-June 2026 period also matters for execution indicates, while the company’s longer-dated 2028 Pratt & Whitney operational milestone may shape how RTX manages component lead times across its engine supply chain.

Why It Matters

  • Expanding landing-gear production capacity supports delivery schedules for both commercial and defense aircraft, where lead times for precision aerostructures can be a constraint.
  • The investment reinforces RTX’s strategy of building scalable manufacturing footprint in Europe, particularly in Poland, which RTX describes as its largest non-U.S. base.
  • Capacity growth can help RTX convert demand across platforms into output, though the company did not name specific programs tied to the new capacity.
  • RTX’s reference to related engine-component expansion in Poland suggests a coordinated approach to managing component supply for aircraft programs.
  • The jobs and footprint indicates may also affect how quickly RTX and its suppliers can sustain production rates during periods of ramping defense and commercial aircraft deliveries.
