Avio. Polska • Avio Polska manufacturing plant is located in Bielsko-Biała in the Silesian Region of Poland, • Employees: 337 (including 78 engineers in the engineering centre), • Annual turnover: 45 M Euro, • Investments: 25 M Euro up to now, • Production Centre – blades and vanes machining (GE 90 vanes and blades, CFM 56 – blades, T 700 – blades, PW 308 – blades, GEn. X 2 B – vanes), • Engineering centre – involvment in almost all Avio projects, • Representative Office in Warsaw.

Newest project of Avio Polska • Participation in design and manufacturing of the most modern aircraft engine: GEnx-2 B: – application: new long range aircraft: Boeing 747 -8 (successor of the „Jumbo”); – 15% lower SFC, – Ability to operate 30% longer with a 30% increase in parts’ life comparing to engines that Genx will replace (significant reduction of costs), – Emmisions 95% below current limits, • • • Avio Responsibility: design, prototype research and implementation of production of the GEn. X 2 B LPT Stator, In 2008 Avio Polska decided to invest almost 25 M Euro in years 2008 – 2011 to increase capacity to produce stator vanes for GEn. X 2 B and other new blades and vanes, On 28 of August 2009, Avio Polska signed the contract with Polish Agency for Enterpreneurship Development (on behalf of Polish Ministry of Economy) to support Avio initiative by the funds in amount of 9 M Euro.

Research – CFTTF Laboratory in Warsaw • Joint initiative of representants of scientific-technological consorcium with participation of Avio Polska, WZL 4 S. A. and polish schools (Warsaw University of Technology, Military Technical Academy), • Global most modern laboratory dedicated to research and testing of aircraft engine turbine prototypes, • Investment Value: approx. 45 M Euro. Project is open for new partners from industry and science.
