Pratt & Whitney Canada opened on Tuesday a new manufacturing facility in Morocco’s Nouaceur’s Midparc Industrial Zone which is attracting a growing number of investors and major players in the global aerospace industry.
The new production site is expected to create approximately 200 new jobs by 2030 and add critical production capacity to support Pratt & Whitney customers’ growing need for quality and dependable engines.
The 130,000-square-foot site will produce detailed static and structural machined parts for Pratt & Whitney Canada’s aircraft engines, including the PT6 engine family.
“This site is a strategic extension of our global production network and demonstrates our commitment to building resilient supply chains worldwide that will enable us to increase production for our customers,” said Maria Della Posta, president, Pratt & Whitney Canada.
“Through close collaboration with local organizations, we’re developing the next generation of aerospace professionals, investing in the communities in which we operate and helping reinforce Morocco’s position as a leader in the aerospace industry, ” she added.
Since breaking ground in 2024, Pratt & Whitney’s Morocco facility has progressed rapidly from construction to operational readiness, including workforce recruitment, technical training and the installation of advanced machining equipment.
The site has been designed according to lean manufacturing principles and incorporates advanced digital systems to drive quality, operational excellence and efficiency.
In addition to Pratt & Whitney, sister RTX business Collins Aerospace has been manufacturing cockpit solutions and flight controls in Morocco since 2012.
Pratt & Whitney, a subsidiary of RTX Corporation, is a global leader in aircraft propulsion, boasting over 85,000 engines in service and a 35% market share in commercial aircraft engines.
