02/15/2011
"I am very pleased with the support the Department of Economic Development has provided to help Pratt & Whitney bring approximately 180 new manufacturing jobs to its Columbus engine overhaul facility," said Pratt & Whitney President David Hess. "These new manufacturing jobs will allow Pratt & Whitney to remain competitive and viable in the global engine overhaul market while keeping jobs in the United States and better serving its long-time customer, the United States Air Force and its large C-17 fleet located in Charleston."
The Columbus plant works on Pratt & Whitney F117 engines. The facility measures 215,000 square feet and currently employs more than 300 people.
