March 26, 2008 -- Pratt & Whitney Canada is beginning the second phase of a $45 million investment program to increase the long-term competitiveness of its Halifax facility. The company will transform it into a high-technology assembly and test aerospace center.
Since 2006, P&WC has invested $21 million in its Halifax facility to install state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and to begin sub-assembly of engine components. P&WC will now spend $24 million to build a modern engine assembly line and test cell at the facility. Starting in the fall of 2009, the new engine center will have the capability of assembling and testing small to medium-sized turbofan engines.
