GE Aerospace is investing $2 million to increase manufacturing capacity of commercial and military aircraft engines at Montana Precision Products, an aerospace manufacturing company based in Butte. Montana Precision serves as a joint venture between GE Aerospace and SeaCast.

The recent investment will go toward modernization of the facility’s layout to improve workflow and productivity to support the production of engine components used in narrowbody and widebody aircraft engines, along with military marine engines.

“This is a great day for our site, Butte and the future of U.S. manufacturing,” said Mike Forrelli, site leader for the Butte joint venture. “With this investment, we will continue to play a critical role in producing engine parts that are needed more than ever.”

Montana Precision Products’ nearly 100,000 sq.-ft. facility produces tube and duct assemblies and small structural castings for aerospace and commercial applications. The joint venture employs over two dozen Montanans.
