In order to expand its engineering, digital technology, and manufacturing operations in India, Collins Aerospace, a division of the US-based Raytheon Technologies, on Thursday officially opened its new Global Engineering and Technology Center (GETC) and Collins India Operations Center in Bengaluru.
“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 defence sector over the next 5 years,” said Stephen Timm, president of Collins Aerospace.
Approximately 3,000 engineers from three other Collins Aerospace locations in Bengaluru, as well as about 600 personnel from other Raytheon Technologies’ group of companies will be moving into the 4,13,000 square-foot GETC at Northgate Tech Park to facilitate collaboration across the company’s businesses, with plans to expand its footprint on the three-acre land next year with new capabilities.
