Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, is expanding its facility in Tajęcina, Poland, to increase production of landing gear systems for major commercial and defence aircraft. The 4,000 square-metre expansion is designed to enhance RTX's operational capacity in Poland.

 

The company currently employs more than 9,100 people in Poland, representing RTX’s largest workforce outside the United States. Collins’ Tajęcina facility, which first opened in 2012, will see the expansion completed in February 2026 following construction that began in November 2024.

 

 

“This expansion builds on our proven track record of delivering high-performance landing gear systems that our commercial and defense customers rely on every day,” said Matt Maurer, vice president of Landing Systems at Collins Aerospace. “By increasing our manufacturing capacity in Poland, we’re ensuring we can meet growing demand worldwide for our products.”

Collins’ landing gear systems, including main, nose and wing landing gear assemblies, are made of high-strength metals to endure harsh environments. They integrate steering, braking and control systems, and are designed to improve aircraft performance while reducing maintenance needs.
