GE Aerospace plans to invest $65 million in 3 Indiana facilities

CINCINNATI (WISH) — GE Aerospace in 2026 will invest $43 million in the company’s Indianapolis facility, $15 million in its Terre Haute facility and $7 million in its Lafayette facility, the maker of jet engines announced Monday.

It’s part of a larger $1 billion investment for 2026 in the company’s U.S. manufacturing base that was announced Monday. The goal is to accelerate engine deliveries, increase the production of maintenance parts, and strengthen defense production to meet military demand.

The Indianapolis facility, 1500 Polco St., manufactures combustors and structural engine components. These parts help create hot airflow and hold engine sections together for narrowbody and widebody commercial aircraft, as well as military fighter jets and helicopters. That facility will get new machines, tooling and facility upgrades.

The Terre Haute facility, 3390 Locust St., makes key engine parts, including combustors and structural components. That facility will receive new machining, tooling and inspection equipment, along with facility upgrades.

The Lafayette facility, 3700 U.S. 52 South, assembles and services commercial jet engines, work that brings together thousands of parts into an engine that’s ready to fly. That facility will receive new tools and facility upgrades.
