Pratt & Whitney Canada Quebec Plant To See Major Upgrade

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) announced a major investment at its engine manufacturing plant operations in Longueil, Quebec, on Tuesday at the Farnborough International Airshow. The RTX subsidiary said the nearly $200 million (CAD$275 million) project is being funded by the company along with grants from Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada and Quebec’s economic and energy innovation ministries.

With this investment, P&WC will enhance the industrial capabilities at its flagship manufacturing facility, where its nearly 4,500 employees produce turbine engines for regional, business, general aviation and rotorcraft platforms. Among the improvements, the site will add automated production lines, modernized machinery and the latest digital processes—all driving greater efficiency and precision throughout the company’s operations.

"This strategic investment in Longueuil strengthens our industrial capacity, enabling us to better support our customers and meet growing global demand," said P&WC president Satheeshkumar Kumarasingam. "It also reinforces our longstanding role as a pillar of the Québec aerospace ecosystem and a major contributor to Canadian aviation."
