The investment will be distributed across five countries, with €55.6 million allocated to Italy for new test cells and tooling, €11.6 million to Poland for facility upgrades, and €5.4 million to the Czech Republic for turboprop engine component production. The UK and Romania will receive €3.3 million and €2.3 million, respectively, for additional machinery and high-precision equipment. This expansion is expected to create over 500 jobs and will focus on next-generation engine components, AI-driven inspection systems, and advanced manufacturing technologies.
