The RTX business produces fuel distribution systems at the site, which ships more than 25,000 engine nozzles each month. The facility supplies original equipment components and spare parts and provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services.
“This expansion helps us enhance delivery performance, improve manufacturing capabilities and add jobs to meet growing customer demand,” said James Bagg, vice president and general manager of Engine Control Systems at Collins Aerospace. The operation employs approximately 300 full-time workers and plans to add positions by the end of 2026, with hiring expected to continue into 2027.
The investment follows a $14 million expansion completed at the Delavan Drive facility in 2023, adding 9,000 square feet and increasing metal additive manufacturing capacity. Collins said that project enabled faster production, reduced lead times and lighter, more efficient aerospace parts.
The site has received National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program certification for additive manufacturing. It also operates as an FAA-certified Part 145 repair station specializing in engine nozzle systems and powerplant accessories.
