As part of a significant investment to expand its engineering, digital technology, and manufacturing operations in India, Collins Aerospace, a unit of Raytheon Technologies Corp., launched its Global Engineering and Technology Center (GETC) and Collins India Operations Center in Bangalore.
Dr. Mauro Atalla, senior vice president, Engineering & Technology for Collins Aerospace said, “The GETC India organization at Northgate Tech Park supports Collins’ six strategic business units and is crucial to the continued success of our global businesses.”
Pratt & Whitney’s United Technologies Corporation India Pvt Ltd., contract engineering services, which is also a part of the Raytheon group, plans to open in early 2023 in the same location.
The Collins India Operations Center located at KIADB Aerospace Park spans 26 acres across the Hitech Defense and Aerospace Park. It will help Collins bring operational synergy and economies of scale, as well as support future growth opportunities and customer requirements. The facility will host some 1,700 employees at the new site once it is fully completed in 2026.
Steve Timm, president of Collins Aerospace, who officially inaugurated the new sites said, “At Collins, we are on course for planned investments of over $200 million in engineering and manufacturing capabilities and hiring an additional 2,000 highly skilled employees in the Indian aerospace and defense sector over the next 5 years. India is strategic to the global growth and investment strategy of all Raytheon Technologies’ businesses, and the advanced infrastructure and talent pool will help drive the country’s contributions as a global leader in aerospace and defense.”
The new sites are part of a long-term growth strategy for Raytheon Technologies in India and globally to maximize collaboration and innovation, as well as provide additional STEM-based opportunities in the country.
