On Monday (December 1, 2025), GE Aerospace announced a £19 million investment over the next three years to refurbish their Wales site, a world-class center for commercial engine Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations.   This major project will enhance critical infrastructure, improve operational efficiency, and advance sustainability initiatives, and will include upgrades to over 70,000 square feet of roof space, as well as improvements to building cladding, insulation, and glazing installations.


In Monday’s announcement, GE Aerospace Wales Managing Director & Executive Plant Leader, Stephen Edwards, said,


“This investment reflects GE Aerospace’s commitment to operational excellence and sustainability.  By modernising our infrastructure, we are not only enhancing our capabilities but also creating opportunities to support the next generation of engines and renewable energy projects.  This investment secures the future of global operations right here in Wales, the gateway to the European aerospace market.”


Also commenting on the facility modernization plan, The Right Honourable Eluned Morgan MS, the First Minister of Wales, added,


“I’m delighted that GE Aerospace has made this long-term commitment to its Nantgarw site and announced it at the Welsh Government’s Wales Investment Summit today.  The plant has been a central part of the economy of South Wales for years, providing high quality jobs for generations of Welsh workers.  This investment by GE Aerospace is a major vote of confidence in Wales and is great news for the local community, the local supply chain and especially the staff – not just the current workforce, but the workforce of the future.”


GE Aerospace plays a vital role in driving employment, skills development, and economic growth in this region of Wales.  The site employs over 1,350 highly skilled engineers and technical specialists, serving a global customer base with industry-leading MRO services. GE Aerospace Wales is also home to an award-winning Apprenticeship Program, which currently has 43 apprentices, who are all supported by Coleg y Cymoedd, a local further education provider.


GE Aerospace is a global aerospace propulsion, services, and systems leader with an installed base of approximately 49,000 commercial and 29,000 military aircraft engines.  With a global team of approximately 53,000 employees building on more than a century of innovation and learning, GE Aerospace is committed to inventing the future of flight, lifting people up, and bringing them home safely.
