Pratt & Whitney to expand in North Berwick
The Connecticut-based aerospace manufacturer Pratt & Whitney plans to expand its North Berwick plant, a move that comes after the company secured a $1 billion jet engine contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Foster’s Daily Democrat reported the company plans a 19,000-square-foot expansion in North Berwick to accommodate shipping, receiving and packaging of engine modules. A spokesman for the company, which is owned by United Technologies, declined to say if the expansion would involve new hiring.
The company received the $1 billion jet engine contract in August, an order of 38 engines for the F-35 fighter jet. Company spokesman Ray Hernandez told the newspaper that the company is negotiating with the government for additional F-35 engine contracts.
